What a card: U.L. Washington arrived with Montreal after a Jan. 7, 1985 trade in which Kansas City sent him to the Expos for pitcher Mike Kinnunen and a minor leaguer.
How'd that go: Washington's starting days were behind him at this point. He appeared in 68 games with the Expos in 1985 in his only year with the team. Meanwhile, his old team won the World Series.
Backatya: Kind of a shame that U.L. didn't spend his entire career with the Royals. I identify him so much with Kansas City that I have no memory of him with the Expos or the Pirates, where he played in '86 and '87.
Back-to-back: Two marvelous cards of a guy who just naturally made for great cards.
The flagship card is No. 431 and was originally blogged on July 10, 2015.
The blog wants to speak now: The blog may want to speak now, but the blogger has been up for 17 straight hours and isn't equipped to update any of the tabs. Sorry.
I read somewhere that the U.L. are not initials, but that is is legal name!
