What a card: Mike Fitzgerald served as the catching replacement for Gary Carter after he was obtained from Montreal along with Hubie Brooks, Floyd Youmans and Herm Winningham in a trade on Dec. 10, 1984.
How'd that go: Initially, not great. Fitzgerald hit just .207 in 108 games for the Expos in 1985. But he managed to hang with Montreal through the 1991 season.
Backatya: Fitzgerald's rookie season with the Mets in 1984 earned him a spot on the Baseball Digest All-Rookie team.
Back-to-back: It's interesting to me that Fitzgerald received one Topps card with the Mets and then he was immediately dealt to another team. It kind of makes the Mets card particularly special.
The flagship card is No. 104 and was blogged originally on Oct. 16, 2012.
