2001 Topps : American Pie: Baby Boomers Baseball Edition
American Pie: Baby Boomers Baseball Edition was released by The Topps
Company, Inc. on June 15, 2001. Each box contains 24 packs with seven cards
per pack. The collection focuses on baseball stars, celebrities, and pop
culture events of the 1960s and 1970s. The series was conceived by Alan Narz.
"Space Race: 1957–1969" depicts the launch of Apollo 11 from Kennedy Space
Center on July 16, 1969. The Saturn V launch vehicle carried Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins to the Moon.
Race to the Moon: In 1957, the Soviets' Sputnik became the first man-made satellite to orbit the earth. Americans, stunned by their Cold War competitor's success, felt a compulsion to win the "Space Race." Said President John Kennedy in '61: "I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon..." A year later, American John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. And on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on the moon.
Apollo 15 Lunar Module pilot James Irwin appears uncredited on card #129, "Man
on the Moon: 1969." The Lunar Module Falcon (LM-10) and the Lunar
Roving Vehicle (LRV-1) are also pictured. The photo was taken by Commander David Scott on August 2, 1971.
One Giant Leap... In the early 1960s, President John F. Kennedy challenged NASA to put a man on the moon before the decade ended. Several Apollo missions prepared NASA for the big event. And on July 20, 1969, before a captivated television audience, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed their lunar module, Eagle, safely upon the lunar orb. Armstrong climbed down the steps and onto the surface. “It's one small step for man," he announced to the world, "one giant leap for mankind."
