The story on this card
Card 3 of the 1968 Topps set is the National League RBI Leaders board, spotlighting the three men who drove in the most runs in 1967. Orlando Cepeda topped the league with 111 RBIs for the pennant-winning St. Louis Cardinals, a season that also earned him a unanimous NL MVP award. Roberto Clemente drove in 110 for the Pittsburgh Pirates while capturing his fourth NL batting title with a .357 mark. Hank Aaron rounded out the trio with 109 RBIs for the Atlanta Braves. All three were established stars by 1967: Cepeda a former Rookie of the Year first baseman, Clemente a perennial Gold Glove right fielder, and Aaron already closing in on 500 home runs.
Orlando Cepeda, the Baby Bull, was a powerful Puerto Rican first baseman who won Rookie of the Year with the 1958 Giants and the unanimous NL MVP with the 1967 champion Cardinals. Pittsburgh's right fielder for eighteen seasons, Roberto Clemente won four National League batting titles and twelve straight Gold Gloves, was the 1966 NL Most Valuable Player and the 1971 World Series MVP, and died flying earthquake relief in 1972. Hank Aaron was the Braves' right fielder and one of the greatest hitters in history, a 25-time All-Star who broke Babe Ruth's home run record in 1974 on his way to 755 career homers.
