1987 Calgary Cannons (ProCards)

Calgary was the AAA team of the Seattle Mariners. I think I enjoy AAA cards the best because it means getting a card of someone you may only have one or two junk wax cards of. It's nice to see a familiar name in an unfamiliar pose.

Here's future Hall-of-Famer (in my opinion, anyway), Edgar Martinez.

 This set was sponsored by the Calgary Police Service, and each card had one of a handful of warnings on the back. Edgar reminds you not to be a show-off on your bike.

 Outfielder Jim Weaver poses as a pitcher.

 He reminds you not to shoplift - "It only takes 20 seconds to shoplift - but it destroys years of trust." How does it take 20 seconds?

 Here's Hall of Very Good favorite Ross Grimsley in his coaching days.

 Ross tells you - Don't Hitchhike - You may be thumbing your life away. Yeah, I wouldn't get in a car with him, either.
