1990 Donruss: Tom Glavine is one of my favorite Braves of all-time and is also 10 ten all-time amongst all players. Add him to one of my favorite designs and it's a big win. He was named to 10 All-Star games, earned Cy Young Award votes in six seasons and won four Silver Slugger Awards as a pitcher. His 682 games started ranks 12th all-time, and his 305 victories are fourth all-time among left-handers. Glavine was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2014 (Baseball Hall of Fame).
Charlie Hough had a 216-216 win loss record while playing 25 seasons and garnered one all-star nod. Jim Abbott had a losing record for his career but that means nothing compared to just making it, and playing at a high level, in the major leagues with only one hand. His best season was 1991 with 18 wins and a 2.89 ERA.
I'm a big fan of the Diamond Kings from the era and these are no different. I like the head and shoulders and full body views on these. And we also get different backgrounds to help differentiate the cards.
I'm so disappointed in the MVP cards. About as bland as it gets.
Wasn't quite greatness yet. Yet.
These all-star cards are top notch as well. The league logos are just too cool. You know there'll be more of these on the blog as I'm a big fan.
