Random Card of the Day

I didn't even notice what may be this card's best feature:  The player featured on the front is not even included in the list of players on the back.  Does that mean Wayne Kirby, David Hulse and Kevin Reimer would have been better Fantasy Team picks than Albert Belle??

Belle hit 36 HR's, had 101 RBI's, scored 90 runs, 147 hits, with a .357 AVG, and .714 SLG. Played LF in 104 games, and was only wasted for 2 at DH out of the 106 games he played in '94.

Kirby didn't do too bad, hit .293, 5 HR, 33 runs, 23 RBIs in 78 games.

Hulse, 1 HR and hit .255 with 19 RBIs in 77 games.

Kevin Reimer wasn't even in the majors after the '93 season.

So no, Belle was the best choice.

Agreed.  I intentionally mentioned three inferior players whose stat lines appeared on the back of the card.  If Belle is listed, I overlooked him. 

I'm quite surprised Albert was a left fielder for 104/106 games in 1994.  Not having done the statistical research to back it up, I always thought of Belle as a weak glove, strong bat.  Maybe Kirby's breakout season gave the Indians enough outfielders that they could move "the athlete formerly known as Joey" to DH.

He must of not been too bad with his glove, unless the teams he was on had someone worse.

1,017 games in LF, and 297 in RF. 34,152 outs, 2,637 PO, 92 A, 66 errors, with an overall fielding % of .976.

Only 222 games at DH, with 100 of those in '92. Not too shabby, what's really surprising is he only played 12 seasons, no idea why, but I do recall him having a pretty nasty attitude.

The corked bats, now I remember.

Albert Belle on tthe Fantasy Team.. because of his on field skills or because that's all that is in his head?

It's a good thing they didn't call him Joey!
