1981 Fred Lynn Cards

Topps # 720, Donruss #218, Fleer #223

Fred Lynn's Baseball Reference Page

Lynn didn't play for the Red Sox in 1981. He wanted out. I guess he couldn't handle the pressure of playing in Boston. The fans expected him to have a 1975 season every year. If it wasn't for that annoying "A.L. All-Star" banner at the top of the card and that ridiculous hat at the bottom, the Topps card could have been his best. The Donruss card makes him look like he has a sunburn, so it has to be Fleer by default to be his best card of 1981.
