#68T Ricky Jordan

This photo was probably taken at the same game as Bob Dernier's since they're both at Wrigley.

For Phillies fans, this was a great card to have in 1988 as Jordan ripped onto the scene that year (but unfortunately never became a decent full-time player despite a career OPS+ of 103.) Oddly, Jordan's full real name is Paul Scott Jordan.

I was tempted to choose "slick", "fluke", or "heroics" as the odd word here, but in the end, I went with "Maine", a word I think you see less often on a baseball card than those other three.

#51T Mike Young

There he is, number 19, Michael Young...just like it says on the back, number 43, Michael Young. Seriously...what's up with that?

And what the hell is up with the copy on the back? Why would he be returning to the Orioles in 1988? The card is a TRADED card showing that he's ALREADY BEEN TRADED to the Phillies. WTF???

#45T Bob Dernier

Nice photo of Dernier here batting at Wrigely. It's pretty clear that his jersey number is 22. You can see the first 2 on the front of his jersey, and the second 2 on the back. Even in the photo on the back, you can see the 22 on the bill of his helmet. Makes tons of sense, then that Score put his jersey number as 20, huh?

#34T Phil Bradley

I love the helmet-over-cap action. You almost never see that anymore these days. I think Juan Pierre does it.

Here is the list of all players to hit .300, 20 HR, and have 20 SB in a season. The back of the card notes that Bradley did it in 1985. It still happens only 2-3 times per season, surprisingly. Of course, now it's the 20 SB that's hardest to get.
