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.
At least one who was part of the Twins. Jack Morris for sure.
ReplyDeleteHe wasn't a Twin for long, but he made it count.
DeleteThe Angels fans who owned Upper Deck gave 666 to the players on the hated Dodgers the first few years of the brand.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll make sure to say Happy Birthday next June 66th.
DeleteHa.
DeleteMy first thought on your list was that someone didn't like the Tigers for that same reason!
DeleteA. That Tigers five year run is interesting baseball card trivia.
ReplyDeleteB. Not a ton of great action shots... but that Buechele isn't too shabby.
Yes to both.
DeleteNice action shot on the Buechele. Thanks for participating!
