What a card: Dale Berra was traded to the Yankees on Dec. 20, 1984 in a deal that also sent prospects Jay Buhner and Alfonso Pulido to New York for shortstop Tim Foli, outfielder Steve Kemp and cash.
How'd that go: Berra got to play for his dad in New York as Dale and Yogi become the second father-and-son/manager-player combination in major league history. But that lasted just 16 games as Yogi Berra was fired early in the '85 season. Dale Berra didn't play much once Billy Martin took over.
Backatya: The white cardboard helps me notice things that I didn't see in the flagship set. For example, I never noticed before the dots leading from the "major league totals" phrase.
Back to back:
Position change!
The original card is No. 305, blogged on June 27, 2014.
Berra joins Bill Almon in having three cards over flagship and the traded set. Berra also appears in the Father-Son subset.
