1981 Topps U.L. Washington

The front: Washington was known for always having a toothpick in his mouth. You can kind of see it, practically head-on to the camera, in the corner of his mouth.

The back: Washington had home runs from both sides of the plate in that game against Oakland.

The player: Washington was known for his speed and defense, though he struggled at the plate.

The man: Washington, whose real first name is U.L. (not initials), has been a minor league hitting coach for the Red Sox since 2003.

My collection: I have 24 of his cards, from 1978 to 1986. I would be interested in trading for 1986 O-Pee-Chee #113.

  1. U.L.! The first ex-major leaguer I ever interviewed. And my favorite card of him.
