What a card: Mike Stenhouse came to the Twins in a Jan. 9, 1985 trade in which he went to Minnesota in exchange for pitcher Jack O'Connor, who went to Montreal. This is Stenhouse's third card between Topps' main set and the Update set.
How'd that go: Stenhouse achieved a slightly more productive season for Minnesota in '85 than with Montreal in '84, but it was essentially the same low output (.223 average in 81 games) and he'd never receive that much playing time the rest of his MLB career.
Backatya: I made a comment on the post of Stenhouse's flagship card that it was nice when the trivia question on the back matched up with the team shown on the front. That obviously isn't the case anymore as Stenhouse switched from the Expos to the Twins but the trivia question remained Montreal-specific.
Back-to-back: Stenhouse added the "DH" position by virtue of traveling to an American League team. He also added a really BRIGHT red cap.
The flagship card is No. 658 and was originally blogged on May 11, 2017.
The blog want to speak now: Nope. March is almost over but it isn't done trying to kill me. Today was very taxing. Hitting the nest early.
