What a card: Hubie Brooks was part of the cavalcade of Mets players that moved to the Expos in the deal for Gary Carter on Dec. 10, 1984. The Expos also received Herm Winningham, Mike Fitzgerald and Floyd Youmans.
How'd that go: Not great, Bob. Brooks did well enough in five seasons with the Expos. But less than two years after this deal, the Mets were World Champions. Brooks could've been on that team (then again, if the Mets didn't have Carter would they have won?)
Backatya: My apologies for the slight smudge on the stats. That's dirt on the scanner, not the card. I have zero time for such niceties as clean appliances these days.
Back-to-back:
The original card is No. 222, blogged on Oct. 10, 2013.
The Traded card really stands out as the winner in this case. Those red Expos warm-up jerseys rule all. Throw in the rest of the Expos gear, the black bat and the batting cage.
The blog wants to speak now: The TV category is updated with a brand new addition to youtube.
That really is a sharp looking card.
