#95T Jay Buhner

Nice yellow wristband that Bone is rocking. The photo on the back is odd--looks like everything around Buhner was blacked out for some reason.

Most interesting word on the back? I guess "bulldog", narrowly beating out "Community College."

#91T Mike Schooler

Not much to say about this card except for how sweaty he is on the back of the card.

For strangest word, I'm going with two uses of the word "Venezuelan" for a guy not born in that particular country.

#74T Greg Briley

I wonder if Briley swung and missed, or if he fouled the ball upwards. Those are some seriously big eyeglasses, and if you don't believe me, just look at the photo on the back. As style for eyeglasses has gotten smaller and smaller, I wonder if players would really play with them today, since the smaller lenses yield a small field of (non-blurry) vision.

These days, I can't think of anybody who still wears eyeglasses, although I'm sure there must be at least a pitcher or two.

Best word on the back is clearly "Pee Wee." OK, I guess that's two words.

#62T Mike Jackson

Jackson is one of my more favorite players and I think is pretty underrated. His 1998 seasons was, in particular, one for the ages. He even got an MVP vote that year.

The game mentioned on the back is right here, and that's a pretty cheap save, pitching 3 mop-up innings in a blowout win.

#48T Heny Cotto

Man, that is some serious squinting on the back of the card! He's spotting raccoons left and right!

I already mentioned this on an earlier Henry Cotto card, but it still amazes me. He was traded once with Jeff Darwin for Dave Magadan. Then, several months later, Darwin and Magadan were swapped back for each other but Cotto wasn't part of that second trade.

#46T Steve Balboni

The beauty of having two photos on a single baseball card is the yin and the yang of it all. An action shot, then a posed head shot. It's a great combo. Here we have two extremes. On the front, we have one of the strongest guys in the pre-steroids era of baseball looking like he's about to totally pulverize a baseball. I don't know if that ball is going to hit the sweet spot or not, but it's a great photo. Now flip over to the back. Balboni looks like such a sweet little puppy!!

As an aside, I noticed that on the front, Balboni's helmet has his number on the bill. That was also true on the last card (Dernier) but not the one before that (Kittle.) Did some teams put numbers on the bill and some not?
