#89 Jose Offerman

1996 Topps

#89 Jose Offerman

This set really has a bunch of great shots. From here on in, I think the photo work gets really good. This is a great shot of Jose sneaking his hand in under the catcher's foot. Makes you expect to see #42 on the shirt. Topps had 2 commemerative cards in '96 #7 Mantle and #96 Ripken. Ripken's was obviously for breaking Gehrig's streak, and Mantle's was because he died. This was the real beginning of the vintage reprints for Topps. They reprinted all Mantle's cards (Topps and Bowman) and randomly inserted them in packs.

So you want to throw a knuckle-ball? Check out #138 Tim Wakefield.
