Danny Darwin
Danny Darwin played for 8 teams in a 21 year career, and in 1982 he was possibly the single reason the Texas Rangers didn’t lose 100 games.
Mark Belanger
To me, this is one of the worst cards in the whole set. Mark Belanger, known for his glove for a generation, and this card shows him…standing at the plate. Sad. Although, he got a hit in his final career PA. He wasn’t even an Oriole anymore, by the time ’82 began.
Ron Davis, ’81 Highlight
Reliever Ron Davis was on fire when he took the mound in Anaheim on May 4, 1981. Nobody could hit him, and from the photo on this card, you can understand why. He looks like he’s going to beat up anyone who dares step up to the plate next. That’s rather intimidating.
John Verhoeven
John Verhoeven was 28, when he became the last Twins pitcher for another 28 years to throw pitches outdoors in a home game. He didn’t have much of a career, but he had some fun while he was a major leaguer.
Bob Boone
Bought from Philadelphia for $300,000 in late ’81, Bob Boone became a very important part of the why the Angels won the AL West in ’82.
