1987 topps the greatest set ever skip to main skip to sidebar sunday january 3 2010 72 walt terrell on nearly every card i ve seen of terrell he looks about 5 6 this one is no exception and of course it surprised me to find out he s listed at 6 2 i didn t like topps choice for the logo for detroit i much prefer the d to the silly tiger head that looks too much like a bengal only four batters had more than 10 rbi against terrell b j surhoff harold baines mel hall and gary gaetti why is this interesting it s not but there s over 700 cards in this set so leave me alone posted by bloggerdk at 1 28 pm 19 comments labels pitchers tigers 71 mike aldrete blech i hate this shot aldrete looks like he s trying to be model here i m assuming the photographer was female plus topps cut off the tip of the barrel of the bat i m getting really sick of their cropping decisions aldrete was another one of those guys who was a perfectly average hitter but never got much of a chance to play every day interestingly he hit 2 homers off only three guys jeff reardon mike scott and roger clemens not bad at all posted by bloggerdk at 1 22 pm 9 comments labels 1b giants 70 charlie hough finally thank you topps for giving us a full body shot hough looks like well hough in this shot just finishing his release on that knuckler he threw for 25 seasons the photo gives us a nice look at the stirrups and the texas across the jersey a look i always liked hough was an interesting story he didn t become a full time starter until he was 34 and then started 400 more games that s pretty amazing and it s not as if he wasn t an effective pitcher to that point he had several good seasons out of the pen for la but didn t get a chance to start regularly until he was sold yes sold to texas from there he churned out start after start even starting 40 games 1987 he was remarkably consistent winning between 10 and 18 games every year from 82 90 never having an era better than 128 or worse than 91 he finished his career with the expansion marlins even acting as florida s opening day starter in 93 and 94 at 46 years old posted by bloggerdk at 1 10 pm 4 comments labels pitchers rangers 69 lonnie smith lonnie smith is officially the happiest guy in the set and why not his card is balanced and fun except for the guy s head in the background lonnie smith was an underrated player he hit for average got on base swiped bags and even almost won an mvp in 1982 he also had one of the great fluke years in 1989 for atlanta when hit 315 with 21 homers his only double digit homer year and a finished with a 948 ops 791 career posted by bloggerdk at 1 01 pm 1 comment labels outfielders royals 68 tony larussa i don t know what anyone else thinks but this doesn t look like larussa to me the stubble the lack of glasses just looks like a different guy and what the heck is he looking at is someone injecting someone with something few managers have had as much success for as long a period of time as larussa and no one has aged less visibly he s won two world series one in each league 5 pennants topped 100 wins 4 times 90 wins 11 times and has won a division with three different teams white sox as cards not too bad posted by bloggerdk at 12 53 pm 7 comments labels athletics managers 67 bill swift decent shot during what looks like pre inning warmup tosses the apathetic look on swift s face gives that away the photo gives us a good look at those old seattle unis with the blue and yellow stripes and a hint of that ugly mariners typeface on the jersey and wow is that one blurry crowd or what on the back of the card we re treated to the nugget bill is one of 15 children i assumed probably stupidly that he was from utah but nope good ol maine how many bathrooms do you think his childhood home had oh wait he was from maine how many outhouses do you think his childhood home had swift was a decent pitcher who began his career as a starter without much success then transitioned to the pen and was fantastic in 92 he was traded to san francisco and became a starter again that ended up being a great decision as swift led the league in era in 92 and finished second in the cy young award voting in 93 21 8 2 82 posted by bloggerdk at 12 42 pm 2 comments labels mariners pitchers 66 marc sullivan no that s not a stain running down sullivan s leg it s a stain on the card so that s why i m not commenting on it even though i just did this is a pretty boring shot as the five people in the stands clearly understand sullivan did absolutely nothing in his career the rumor was completely justified that he was only on the sox because his father was haywood sullivan who was a part owner of the team in those days his stats bear that out completely 397 career pas with an ops of 32 posted
