Why this card is awesome: Because Larkin is another Red with the Cincinnati trifecta: born in, lived in, and played in. That must have been great.
Cool stat: Larkin is one of just 7 players since 1901 to have 900 R, 900 RBI, and 300 SB for one team. He hit the most homers of his career off Jim Deshaies. He had 21 4-hit games, including one 5-hit game. Larkin also had one career 3-HR game. Guess who he hit those 3 homers off of? That's right! Jim Deshaies.
Barry Larkin. So terribly, terribly overrated.
ReplyDeletei agree.
ReplyDeleteHow does one go from 15 home runs one year, up to 33 the next year, and then, is injured most of next year?.....hhhhmmmmmmm.....
Bichette had a great year, but since he played in Colorado, that didn't help.
Maddux had a monster year, but won the cy young.
Piazza should of won it. Great numbers for a catcher.
It is true that Larkin's career high in HR is almost Brady Anderson-like in how out of character it was.
