Why this card is awesome: Because this is one of my favorite cards of the set. The photo looks very old to me. Hinzo is a smallish guy, and the people in the background just look very old-fashioned. The photo also has a darker aspect to it. I just love it.
Cool stat: Hinzo had a short career but he did bat 1.000 against 5 pitchers.

Manny Trillo brought a pretty big umbrella to that game. Then again, he always brought a big umbrella to the game. It was his thing.
For a guy who really didn't do anything, either in the majors or minors, he sure made it to the big leagues in a hurry.
Also, he was signed by former Twins pitcher and current Angels exec. Eddie "Wolf" Bane. Talented guy from Arizona State.
If you were with the Indians in the 80s, it didn't take much to make it to the bigs ...
