Just making mention that there was a lot of people (kids) that I am sure had opened up their wax pack of cards looking for the star players, and had never heard of Kevin Gross. Not to say he was a star but for one night in July he would be a Star making kids wonder if that Kevin Gross card they had traded away months ago was really that good....LKWDLYNXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00809144600721959505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2327798346644458245.post-19150272417623741562008-01-14T15:08:00.000-05:002008-01-14T15:08:00.000-05:00Yeah, I didn't mean to suggest that Gross had a cr...Yeah, I didn't mean to suggest that Gross had a crappy career. You don't lead MLB in losses over a 10-year period without being at least a halfway decent pitcher. He did some good things for the Phillies during lean years, and was also a very durable pitcher throughout his career.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05644396308532248413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2327798346644458245.post-38273048456181553252008-01-14T14:39:00.000-05:002008-01-14T14:39:00.000-05:00Don't forget the other reason this is a great card...Don't forget the other reason this is a great card either. Gross was elected to the National League All-Star team in 1988. Gross worked one perfect inning of the mid-summer classic striking out Jose Canseco, and getting 2 future HOF (Winfield, Ripken) on flyouts.<BR/> On August 17, 1992, as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Gross threw a no-hitter versus their rivals, the San Francisco Giants.LKWDLYNXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00809144600721959505noreply@blogger.com
