What a card: Steve Kemp moved from the Yankees to the Pirates on Dec. 20, 1984 in the deal that sent Dale Berra and Jay Buhner to the Yankees.
How'd that go: Almost the end of the line for Kemp. He generated one season in 1985 that was much like his dismal show with the Yankees except without the power. The Pirates released him in 1986. He played in a handful of games for Texas in 1988.
Backatya: When I posted Kemp's flagship card with this trivia question, 16 players had formed the four-homer club. That total is now 18 with Scooter Gennett and J.D. Martinez joining in 2017.
Back-to-back: In the world of hatless Steve Kemp cards, his '85 Traded card cannot compare to his '82 Traded card.
The flagship card is way off center and card No. 120 and was originally blogged on Dec. 4, 2012.
The blog wants to speak now: The Music category is updated with the final Top 5 chart of the year.
I can't tell for sure but his traded card looks like it was airbrushed and the photo was taken in Anaheim.
