Why this card is awesome: Because like 600 cards ago, some reader named Jeff was counting down until Lombardozzi's card. Well here it is, Jeff!
But seriously, I think this is the only card other than Larry Parrish where the full last name of the player featured on the card is visible on the back of his uniform. I might be wrong about that, but these are the only ones that come to mind.
And mind you, getting all of "LOMBARDOZZI" visible in a photograph while he's batting ain't easy.
Cool stat: Lombardozzi is somewhat remembered thanks to being part of the championship Twins team of 1987 (and hitting very well in that World Series.) In the regular season, he managed a few 4-RBI games and the Twinkies won them all.
You can see Jack Clark's name on his card too.
ReplyDeleteA couple of pitchers but not as good too, Tim Crews, Dave Palmer, maybe Jim DeShaies
Success!
