No, but nice try. If they all have pitched 1-hitters it is strictly a coincidence. Don't forget this is an exclusive club with no other members. Many pitchers not pictured here have thrown 1-hitters.
Whomever gets this one is either a true baseball historian...or a lucky guesser!
That's a matter of opinion. Remember that Blyleven was only in his 2nd season while Minnesota had the 1970 Cy Young winner in Jim Perry. Baltimore had the likes of Dave McNally and future HOFer Jim Palmer. Not bad, Bobby, keep at it.
Oops, I forgot to mention Baltimore's Mike Cuellar.

KRATHE, My sincerest apologies. I didn't see your post before replying to Bobby's. You are indeed correct. Since I can't take back the crown I have bestowed upon Bobby, I will make you the honorary owner of all my cards for the remainder of the weekend. Sorry for the oversight.
<< <i>Now for a rare venture out of the 1970's. I've gone all the way to 1980 to bring another mystery theme. No cards here to write home about, but all these players share a common bond. What is that bond? >>
Brett, I'll say that they were all born in Los Angeles, CA.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
I always enjoy looking at this thread, but do not always comment. Brett, you always post some beautiful cards. I respect your passion for constantly upgrading your sets. Thanks for sharing. BoSox I enjoy looking at your 62's as well.
Thanks guys, I had a 65 YAZ graded a couple years back and that got a 9NQ. I have a CARLTON RC goin out this week with my free subs. Crossing my fingers it doesn't hit the 'ballingest graders' desk!!
