today is usually the day that i post something about game 1 of the 1988 world series, but instead i have another almost daily dodger post. enjoy the change, or use the links to peruse past years posts if you like.
chone figgins is one of a few players that are angels to me despite having played for the dodgers. here he is on a target red border parallel from 2014 topps update
the card shows a couple of dodgers of note in the background. i am pretty sure that's clayton kershaw running towards home in the pullover, but there is no doubt about aj ellis in the catcher gear or manager don mattingly hanging out behind the dugout railing.
here's a bonus target red border card from 2014 topps of juan uribe - a former "almost daily dodger" subject
this card shows uribe as he scores from first base on a double by tim fedorowicz on june 11, 2013. he was the insurance run in a 5-3 dodger win over the dbacks that night.
What a great photo of Figgins, and I had completely forgotten that he went to the Dodgers.

ReplyDeleteI feel bad that when I read "wearing Bill Russell's number" I expected him to have a 6. I mean, that's the Bill Russell you're more likely to hear about in most places, but not here!
ReplyDeleteOhtani is one of a few players that are Angels to me despite having played for the Dodgers. I wonder if that'll stand the test of time though.
ReplyDeleteI remember the Figgins being really good with the Angels, and then the absolute shits when the Mariners signed him.
