Year: 1998

Set: Multi-Ad Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks (Rate)

Card: #NNO RedHawks Hit Crew (Chad Akers / Chris Coste / Johnny Knott / Darryl Motley)


“ Very interesting card photo. It seems more like something you'd see in the early 90s, instead of 1998. I like it though. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ My first card of the day!! I am not a big fan of multi-player cards but I love the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks! Back in the late 1990s I had season tickets and went to games with my then pre-teen age daughter. They are special memories! Whenever I get back to Fargo I still try to get to a game. Darryl Motley caught the fly ball that was the last out of the 1985 World Series. ” -twinscollector34

“ Just a quick follow up. Chris Coste made it to the majors as a 33 year old rookie, which is the title of his book. He caught the final pitch from Brad Lidge to end the 2008 World Series, so there are two players on this card that caught the final outs of a World Series. ” -twinscollector34

“ Not much of a hit crew since none of these guys made it to the Majors. ” -carthage44

“ The pose brings back memories of cards from the 60s. I like it. ” -CluelessJoe

“ Nice minor league card. Hmm I wonder how many times they have done multi-player cards? I don't recall seeing very many of those. ” -captkirk42

“ Over about 162 games, although maybe they weren't facing spectacular pitching, three of these guys collected 200+ hits. The other one walked 134 times, scored 141 runs and drove in 132, so he probably deserves to be part of the "Hit Crew" even if he fell a bit short of 200. ” -dilemma19

Sorry - have to clear up a couple of pieces of errata in the other comments.

1 - Chris Coste only played in 1 game in the 2008 WS - Game 1 as the DH. Carlos Ruiz caught all 5 games - all innings.

2 - Two of these players were in the Majors. One had already been there about 15 years prior, and one was almost 10 years away from making it.

It is a very cool looking card with that 1959 Topps or the 1981-1990 Fleer (end of the set) feel to it.

Great card.   Very reminscent of the cards from the late 50s and early 60s.   I loved these as a kid.

I stand corrected. I take pride on accuracy but I blew it this time. That's what I get for relying on my memory!  In my mind I have a memory of Coste and Lidge celebrating, but maybe it was an NLCS game, or maybe it was in my mind at the time that I wished Coste was in the game and it has become reality for me as the years have gone by!  Anyway, thanks for the help and I apologize for the mistake.
