What a card: Steve Nicosia signed with the Expos as a free agent on February 15, 1985.
How'd that go: Nicosia played in 42 games for Montreal in 1985 as a backup at catcher for Mike Fitzgerald (the Expos were coping with the loss of Gary Carter to the Mets) but was released in August after batting .169. The Blue Jays picked him up on Sept. 1 for the stretch run. Nicosia appeared in six games and his MLB career was over.
Backatya: Those 63 games with the Giants really enhanced Nicosia's career. He never hit above .300 anywhere other than San Francisco.
Back-to-back: Nicosia's Update card makes for a fitting final card. Nice, reflective image.
Nicosia's flagship card is No. 191 and was originally blogged on July 9, 2013.

I like and I don't like the "triple logo" cards. Coin flip every time. "Triple team name" here too. With that blue shirt, it appears he definitely made it to Florida on time.
