front topps did something new in 1993 placing one american league manager and one national league manager on a shared card and including them as a 14 card subset in series two as you can see they re superimposed over a pixelated black and white photo of a dugout which is kind of an ugly graphic choice about the back the pre and post all star break records are a cool touch my orioles were only four games back of the blue jays at midseason but fell off the pace a bit and finished in third place seven games behind toronto and three behind milwaukee triple play 1 johnny oates was a reserve

to see jose canseco in a rangers uniform when this card was released he d been traded the previous august after an eight year stay in oakland that included a rookie of the year award an mvp and three straight trips to the world series about the back the aforementioned mvp season was 1988 when canseco became the first member of the 40 hr 40 sb club his ops that year was 170 meaning that he was 70 better than the league average hitter triple play 1 arriving in texas kicked off the itinerant phase of jose s career from 1992 through 2001 he played for the a s rangers red sox a s again blue jays devil rays yankees and white sox he also had spring training stints with the angels and expos 2 he finished his big league career with a batting line of 266 353 515 462 home runs and 1 407 rbi even with the overall home run spike of the last few decades he s still 35th all time in round trippers 3 canseco has achieved infamy as a fame chasing bonehead from the release of two tell all books that accused several of his peers of steroid abuse to his forays into reality tv to moonlighting in mixed martial arts and boxing to i ll just link to this summary of his various legal troubles 11 year old kevin says the major story with jose canseco in 1993 was his disastrous relief appearance for texas in a 15 1 loss in boston on may 29 in one inning he threw 33 pitches 12 for strikes gave up three runs on two hits and three walks and blew out his right elbow necessitating tommy john surgery i didn t realize until looking it up just now but this happened three days after cleveland s carlos martinez hit a fly ball that bounced off of jose s head and over the cleveland stadium wall for a home run talk about a long week bill james said his chance to be a star now is to be cecil fielder to hit 50 home runs and drive in 130 but he has to stay healthy to do that and he needs to grow up to stay healthy i think we all know how that turned out canseco topped 113 games played one more time in his career when he clouted a career high 46 homers in 151 games for the blue jays in 1998 by the way james lists his position as right field relief pitcher har har on this date in 1993 february 27 the
