Former Ranger great Jeff Huson played shortstop in 116 games for a total of 765 innings during the 1991 season. That's a lot of opportunity for photographers at the various ballparks to get some good action shots. Somehow one play in one inning of all those games made it onto three different baseball cards by three different card companies for the 1992 season. It's the Rangers likely turning a double play against the A's with Jeff avoiding that lunkhead Jose Canseco sliding into second base. Has anyone seen a similar scenario?
Topps
Upper Deck
Ultra

Its interesting that Canseco is on all 3 cards. I kinda don't think the Upper Deck and the Ultra are the same play though. Who knows though?

That's really strange (and cool). I wonder if it was all from the same photographer. Kudos on finding that out.

Since there from different sides of the diamond I'd assume not.

And the order of your links to me look chronologically in order of the play.

That's the way I saw it as well, Ryan! The throw is away and Huson lifts his right leg to avoid Canseco as he slides through.
