What a card: Jim Wohlford posted a .300 batting average for the first time in the 13th of his 15 major league seasons in 1984.
My observation on the front: Expos. Red jerseys. Batting cage. You can't beat it.
More opinion from me: Wohlford comes out looking a lot better on this card than on this card.
Something you might know: Wohlford was a career backup outfielder for four teams, the Royals, Brewers, Giants and Expos.
Something you might not know: According to the book The Bronx Zoo, teammates would taunt Lou Piniella with Wohlford's name because it enraged him that the Royals traded him to the Yankees so manager Jack McKeon could play Wohlford.
My observation on the back: The Cowboy Cookie and Grub Company apparently still exists, although it's located in San Luis Obispo, which is just south of Atascadero. Wohlford, who became a financial planner, apparently is long gone from the place.
The blog wants to speak now: The Music category is updated.
