The story on this card
Topps #7 in the 1973 set is the Texas Rangers team card, from the first series. The 1972 season was the franchise's first in Arlington after eleven years in Washington. Ted Williams managed the club to a 54-100 record and sixth place in the American League West. The Rangers lost their first game of the year 1-0 in Anaheim on April 15, when Andy Messersmith held them to two hits. Their first game in Texas came on April 21 at Arlington Stadium, a 7-6 win over the Angels before 20,105 fans, with Frank Howard and Dave Nelson homering. The club hit .217, the lowest team average in the majors, and scored 461 runs with 56 home runs. It went without an extra-base hit in 38 of its 154 games, the most of any team since 1920.
