Seems like it was definetly that 05/01 - 05/03 series and therefore, Law. Fitzgerald had a homer in that first game, maybe this is the swing?Splint Chesthairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02134555973643533835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2327798346644458245.post-33682525940774329832008-08-29T15:58:00.000-04:002008-08-29T15:58:00.000-04:00Tim Raines' upcoming card also at Shea!Tim Raines' upcoming card also at Shea!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14890227404131348324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2327798346644458245.post-67360131861359813692008-08-29T15:53:00.000-04:002008-08-29T15:53:00.000-04:00The jersey number looks like a ruffled 2 to me.

All of these cards show the Expos with long sleeves at Shea. And splint is right, same white hat fan in the first row on the Nichols card (#748). <BR/><BR/>My guess is that most, if not all, of these photos were taken during the May 1 - 3 series at Shea. Fitzgerald played in all 3 games, and batted in front of Vance Law in each.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14890227404131348324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2327798346644458245.post-14327275124735111552008-08-29T15:12:00.000-04:002008-08-29T15:12:00.000-04:00Could it be Reid Nichols (#5)?

He only batted after Fitzgerald once in early 1987 (most likely time period because of the long sleeves) but his 1988 Card looks like it was from the same game as Fitzgerald's (you can see what looks to be the same dude in a white hat to the right in both cards)Splint Chesthairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02134555973643533835noreply@blogger.com
