Outfielder Trini House played two seasons in the Brewers organization, hitting .295 with 13 HR, 89 RBI and 21 SB in 165 games. Now a youth baseball coach in Maryland, he kindly answered my questions about baseball cards.
"You can find a few of my cards on the internet. A Bowman gold rookie card
under the name Howard House and a few others under the name Trini House."
Thanks for posting these. In those 2 seasons I was voted Arizona League MVP and Topps Minor League Player of the Year. Brings back memories. I actually had reconstructive shoulder surgery & two other surgeries in '93 which kept me from playing then I was optioned to the AA Texas Louisiana League where I played for the Harlingen Whitewings. I led the team in stolen bases, rbi's and home runs before I had to retire for medical reasons; doctors said Ki would most likely never be aboe to affectively throw a baseball again.
So now along with being a high school baseball coach, I am a sales manager for a sporting goods company.
Night owl..lol..those were actually in style then. And we were on the road when I got the call that this was happening..couldn't find much else at the little mall in the small town we were in. Thanks for the comment though. :)
It appears the only two other card made of Mr. House were from the 1992 Classic Best Beloit Brewers team set, and then a 1994 team issued card from the White Wings. I'm always curious when I see pretty good stat lines for a young player, and then they just disappear from the sport (at least that's how it looks a couple of decades later). Thanks for filling in some of the gaps, Mr. House!

It almost looks like Mr. House is wearing a hockey sweater in that top photo. I had a few those early '90s rugby style shirts, too.
