1985 Topps # 73 Rusty Kuntz Autographed Rusty Kuntz was with the Tigers for a short time - 84 games in 1984 and only 5 games in 1985 - but he had great timing. He won a World Championship with the Tigers, and is the answer to one of the best trivia questions from the 1984 season: Who hit the game winning RBI in Game 5 of the 1984 World Series; the final game that made the Tigers World Champs?
Most people answer Kirk Gibson because of his famous homer later in the game (see my post from March 18, 2014 for more details on that homer) but it was actually Rusty Kuntz's pop fly sacrifice to 2nd base in the 5th inning that scored the go ahead and winning run.
Mr. Kuntz signed this card for me via the Kansas City Royals spring training camp in Arizona. He is currently the Royals' first base coach.
