Had to use another Comiskey cop-out with #97. Pretty much any regular card with a shot of a batter in Chicago will show a bat rack in the background. Hopefully I will replace that one at some point. Upton and Blanchard are not exactly at the bat rack, but I'll allow it!
I think the Hershiser sticker is my favorite of this bunch, just for the novelty of it. It was fun to have not one, but two pitchers at the bat rack for this page. Fun fact about Johnny Blanchard - he was born in Minneapolis! This card shows him following his best season in the big leagues. He had career highs in almost every offensive category, playing in 93 games for the Yankees. He had an OPS+ of 168 for the season!
Thanks for reading.
Awesome frankenset page!!!
ReplyDeleteMan, the Upton image variation is so cool. Never seen that one before.
ReplyDeleteLove the Larry. Was wondering if the Upton was a SP. I don't remember seeing that card before.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Always liked that Larry Walker card.
DeleteBat rack envy (pac man fever) I don't recall seeing the Upton but I avoided this particular design like my life depended on it.
ReplyDeleteGotta go with the Blanchard. Clean images of guys holding multiple bats never goes out of style.
