Ranking 17 Years of Topps Baseball #666

Inspired by Matty K, of Diamond Jesters infamy. 

Looking at 1978 - 1994.  Back when it was a hobby.  


17.  1980 - Tigers Future Stars: M. Chris, Greene, and Robbins

A big whiff on all three of these guys.  But it didn't seem to matter, as they won the World Series a few years later.









16.  1985 - Mike LaCoss 

15.  1989 - Randy St. Claire











14.  1992 - Tom Foley








13.  1991 - Danny Darwin

I like how the Astros matched the stripes to the Topps logo. 











12.  1981 - Tigers Team Card

It's just a bunch of guys whose faces I can't see.









11.  1982 - Tigers 1981 BA and ERA Leaders / Team Checklist

Could have been ranked much better, but the upturned caps ruined it. 









10.  1979 - Rich Dauer

Part of the Orioles team that won the rigged World Series in 1983. 











9.  1978 - Billy Smith











8.  1990 - Brian Fisher











7.  1993 - Glenallen Hill











6.  1986 - Charlie Hough / Rangers 1985 Team Leaders











5.  Mario Soto











4.  1983 - Sparky Anderson

Legend. 











3.  1984 - Tigers 1983 BA and ERA Leaders / Team Checklist









2.  1994 - Steve Buechele











1.  1987 - Phillies Legend Von Hayes











-  Five consecutive Tigers: 1980 - 1984.

-  Back-to-back Orioles 2B: 1978 - 79. 

-  Back-to-back Reds pitchers: 1988 - 89.

-  Two Astros pitchers, but not consecutively.
