Nothing If Not Random: 1992 Score Pinnacle

1992 Pinnacle: I don't remember where I picked up this pack from January, but I think it was part of an eBay purchase? Kirby and the Twins were coming off their second World Series Championship which they won against Atlanta in one of best World Series we've ever seen.

The basic design isn't overly great. The borders take up too much room though the players do bleed into that space. There's also the lack of a team logo.

Terry Pendleton was key to the Braves' turnaround and World Series appearance in 1991. He was selected as the 1991 NL MVP. The backs aren't bad. Not enough stats but otherwise it does a pretty good job. Probably not Terry's best photo he's ever taken.

I do like the Shades subset. Strawberry was coming off his first season as a Dodger in what unfortunately would be his last season playing full-time. He'd play eight more seasons but only played more than 63 games once. Sidelines shows off player pursuits off the field. Dwight Smith sang on opening day, 1991. Cal Eldred went on to win 86 games in his career.

Kirby new how to take a photo. I like that write-up. "Barrel-chested" was appropriate.

Schooler had 30+ saves twice in his short six-year career. Darryl Hamilton batted .291 for his career. I would never have guessed that. I didn't think that he was bad. Just didn't know he was that good.
