#4T - Dusty Baker


What a card: Dusty Baker traveled across the bay from San Francisco for his first season in Oakland (and in the American League) after being traded for a couple of minor leaguers in March 1985. Neither minor leaguer made the majors.

How'd that go: Baker rediscovered the power that left him during his one season with the Giants. He played two seasons with the A's before calling it quits.


Backatya: Baker wore No. 12 throughout his entire major league career.

Back-to-back:


 
The original card is No. 165, blogged on April 12, 2013.

Baker seems a little happier to be an Oakland Athletic than a San Francisco Giant. Can't say I blame him.

The blog wants to speak now: The TV category is updated.

obviously, this post is full of strange looking cards. there should have been a rule to not have a dusty baker card that didn't show his oversized sweatbands.
