I remember pulling the Highlight card from packs of 1980 Topps, and I always remembered him from that. On June 30, 1979 he hit a 2-run blast in the 9th to tie the game; On July 5th, he hit another 2-run HR to bring the Phillies within a run in the 7th inning; on July 10th, he hit a 3-run walk off shot off of Hall of Fame reliever Rollie Fingers, capping a 5 run rally. Each HR was against a different team.
