Player O The Week awards are going to our Mariners’ Larry Milbourne. He was with the M’ s from 1977-1980 and again in 1984.
When not playing shortstop or second bag for them, he was with New York in ’81 helping the Yanks win the pennant and with Philly in ’83 doing the same.
Milbourne became just the 18th player in MLB history to smash a homer from both sides of the plate in the same game when he did it with Seattle in 1978.
Here’s the Topps card from 1980 so you can scope out that facial hair and vintage pullover.
When are the Mariners going to bring these uni’s back? And when are Mariners players going to bring back those sideburns? If you can’t get enough Larry, then you may want to point yourself to
this site where you can pick up some Milbourne merch. Click on the images for more res.
