Scott Orgera In October 1976, the two best catchers in baseball squared off in the World Series. Less than three years later, one of them was gone. The 1977 Topps #412 freezes them both in time— Johnny Bench receiving a throw at home plate, number 15 barreling toward him. The card itself is nothing special at first glance. It's part of a three-card subset recapping the Fall Classic, labeled World Series Games 3 & 4 .
