and the backs . . .


100 - Pete Rose 1985 Renata Galasso Pete Rose
101 - Kiki Hernandez 1993 Classic Best Gold
102 - Rhys Hoskins 2019 Topps Gypsy Queen
103 - Larry Walker 1999 Upper Deck
104 - Garry Moses 1970 Topps
105 - Kevin Kiermaier 2016 Topps Chrome
106 - Joe Niekro 1987 Fleer
107 - Ozzie Guillen 1995 Pinnacle
108 - Ron Gant 1997 Pinnacle Inside

The Kevin Kiermaier card is a pretty big stretch - once again the big bat racks at Comiskey come to the rescue. I'll keep my eyes peeled for #105 in the future to try to find a more legit back rack card. The set is now into triple digits! Happy also to have a 1970 Topps card on this page, as that set is the unofficial granddaddy of them all when it comes to bat rack cards. There are earlier examples to be sure, but the 1970 set has several to choose from, which makes it a personal favorite. Larry Walker makes his 2nd page in a row.

Thanks for reading!

  2. Kiki Hernandez is a nice touch as well, that’s Enrique “Kike” Hernandez’s dad.

  6. The Ozzie card is a big stretch too. And not just because you can barely see a bat rack on the card!

  8. I feel like I want to say it every time you do one of these posts, but I'm constantly amazed at how far you've been able to get with this set.
