#77T - Fred Lynn
What a card: Fred Lynn came to the Orioles as a free agent, signing with Baltimore on Dec. 11, 1984.
How'd that go: Lynn lasted three-plus years with Baltimore but the steady decline that began when he came to the Angels from Boston continued with the Orioles. He'd later wind up with the Tigers (wut?), his fourth team, which was pretty strange for someone I thought would stay with the Red Sox for his career. Then he went to the Padres and nothing made sense.
Backatya: Lynn made the most of his walk year in 1984, appearing in more games than he had in over five years.
Back-to-back: Lynn's flagship card is No. 220 in the set and was originally blogged on Oct. 3, 2013. You'll notice how similar uniforms were among teams in the 1980s.
