You may have to enlarge the photo but the card on the left still has the "LA" for Los Angeles, the team he was traded from, slightly visible on his cap. The card on the right has the emblem completely covered.
Ron was born in Paterson, New Jersey and grew up in Fair Lawn, NJ. Ron pitched in the majors for 13 years, retiring as an active player in 1973. He then was a coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers for 22 years and since 1995, has been involved in the San Francisco Giants organization.

So which one is the correct card? Is one of them a fake? Did someone add the "LA" years later? I thought I had seen horrible airbrushing in the later checklists of 1971, but this one is the worse airbrushing I ever saw. A black blotch in the middle of a blue cap? They aren't even trying. I realize that the players were boycotting Topps that year, but were the artists boycotting Topps also?
