About the Card:
The front features the standard 1979 Topps Prospects design with three black-and-white portrait photos arranged side by side beneath the bold red "Brewers 1979 Prospects" banner with a baseball graphic at center. Player names appear in blue below each photo with their positions in black. The front presents well with good color and no major creases, though light age wear is consistent with a 1979 card. The back is card number 708 and uses the dark brown and green Topps Prospects format, listing physical stats and biographical info for all three players. All three name bars show checkmarks. The back shows some age toning typical of vintage Topps stock from this era but no creases or staining.
Player History:
This card serves as the rookie card for all three players. Ned Yost is by far the most notable name here, going on to a long career as a major league manager, most famously guiding the Kansas City Royals to the 2015 World Series title. As a player he was a backup catcher with limited big league time. Kevin Bass developed into a solid outfielder with the Houston Astros through the mid-to-late 1980s, posting his best seasons from 1985 to 1987. Eddie Romero had a journeyman career as a utility infielder, spending time with several clubs through the 1980s.
