it only took me 30 years to find the greatest card of the 1989 donruss set, and here it is:
meyer visited chavez ravine in september of 1988, but didn't pitch there until two years later. he did well, although he gave up a home run to eddie murray (no shame in that) in his 2-plus innings of work.
as for the card, it's like bo said in a comment on my post from 9 years ago celebrating the 1987 mother's astros set that featured many photos with dodger stadium in the background, the color scheme of dodger stadium (back then) looks like an astros jersey. it's such a great card - the donruss border actually enhances the look of it.
another astro in dodger stadium card that i recently added to my collection is this 2018 topps now card issued in conjunction with taco bell
cameron maybin swiped a base in the 2017 world series to earn this card and provide many americans with a free bout of indigestion. thanks to nick at dime boxes for making me aware of the card's existence!
for what it's worth, i opened some packs of 2019 topps big league tonight and there are some really nice cards in that release featuring dodger stadium, too. no astros, though.
Dodger Stadium is one of the most recognizable stadiums around... and one of only a handful I can actually recognize on trading cards.
ReplyDeletethe oakland coliseum is an easy one to spot, too!
DeleteYou buy repacks?
ReplyDeletesometimes. i was in walgreen's and walked down the aisle looking for 2019 topps yellow parallel cards (no dice) and picked up the repack instead.
DeleteI still can't believe I have a Taco Bell-produced card in my collection. Glad you found a copy!
ReplyDeletebest thing is i found someone selling the full set for cheap. i pulled the maybin and flipped the others for more taco buying cash!
