it's been about 20 years since paul loduca played for the dodgers and i still think he is one of my least favorite dodgers. here's his 2002 upper deck sweet spot card
it's likely that my opinion was formed through no fault of loduca's, as i wasn't a fan of the mike piazza trade, and loduca was one of the catchers that the dodgers deployed in the months following that deal. he wound up putting together a couple of good seasons for the dodgers, but he still wasn't mike piazza, and that's not his fault. he wound up replacing piazza again, this time in new york when he joined the mets in 2006. that same year loduca helped the amazins beat the dodgers in the nlds which did nothing to change my opinion of him.
i really don't seek out his cards, but i like this set and was a couple away from completing the basic team set, so here we are. if you have kevin brown's 2002 ud sweet spot card available, please let me know!
