Anthony Swarzak hasn't yet converged with Adam Ottavino to become a single entity in mind.



But they are trying.

Spent a minute trying to figure out who the Brave was in the OPC sticker at the end, then realized that was Julio Franco on the right, then got confused again as to how a Braves/Clevelanders sticker wound up in the Brewers post.

Here ya go. Rare pic of Franco in a Brewer uni.

The toughest Met-Brewer to find a picture of in a Brewers uni might be Pete Harnisch, who was a Brewer for about one month at the end of one season.

Kevin Bass sure had me stumped. Came up as a Brewer, you say?



What outlet produced this 'un?

Endless baseball wallpaper can be kinda kreepy.

[seawolf17]

That would be from the 1993 Pacific Spanish set.



I thought I had a Harnisch Brewers card, but apparently not.

[batmagadanleadoff]

That's a 1993 Pacific Baseball Amigos card. There are others.

Again, endless beisbols make for a mortifying backdrop.



is "Pacific Amigos" the publisher or is it a series put out by one of the other publishers?

[batmagadanleadoff]

Pacific is (or was) a baseball card company, licensed (or once licensed) by MLB to sell baseball cards. "Amigos" was a subset of one of Pacific's 1993 sets. Back then, there were dozens of baseball sets produced each year. That's "dozens", with an "s" at the end.

[seawolf17]

Yeah, the 90s were a wild time.

What a damn shame.



When I have the exclusive license to print these things, the cards will be printed in a maddeningly perfect proportion. If a guy never hits the 2[CROSSOUT]5[/CROSSOUT]6-man roster, he never sees a card released. If Adonis Medina gets demoted, even for a day, his card falls out of production for that day, and returns to production when he rejoins the roster.



This may initially make the factory floor a very stressful place to be, but in the end, all will celebrate the accurate representation of who is and isn't a major league player.

[seawolf17]

Topps did/does a bit of that with the "Topps Total" set, which did a nice job of catching everyone.



The 2019 Topps Total set, for example, has the only Mets cards of Adeiny Hechavarria and Rajai Davis, and 2020 has Walker Lockett and Brad Brach.

[Lefty Specialist]

Whew, Carlos Gomez. Best trade they never made.

So if Francisco Lindor was on the roster for 180 days and Trevor May for 20 days, by the end of the season, their Topps Total cards would be in circulation at a 9:1 ratio?

[batmagadanleadoff]

Our interloper was Les Rohr, who was traded by the Mets to the Brewers. Rohr didn't know it at the time, but on the day he was traded to Milwaukee, he had already played his last major league baseball game. The Mets turned out to be the only team Rohr would play for in the majors.



Thank you for playing.
