A 1974 Dodgers Christmas Card

I realize this is a couple of weeks too late, but I figured it's better late than never. Here is a vintage Dodger Christmas card from 1974 that I ran into on eBay. I do not know if this was something sent out by the team or an item fans could purchase to send to friends and family. What I do know is that it's pretty great that it celebrates a National League pennant and various awards won by individual players. It's no wonder they thought 1975 would be their year.

FYI, the Dodgers awards winners include Garvey as MVP, All-Star MVP, and Gold Glove; Dr. Mike Marshall as the Cy Young and Fireman of the Year winner; Walter Alston as Manager of the Year; and Jimmy Wynn as Comeback Player of the Year.
