1986 Spokane Indians at the Mall - Bob Lutticken

  

Catcher Bob Lutticken played in the Padres organization from 1986 to 1991, almost entirely in A-ball. In 279 games he hit .215 with 9 HR and 89 RBI.

Nice photo with a big sign for salad bar, sandwiches and pizza. Looks like the restaurant's name has Pizza in it but it's obscured by the chair. The 1982 mall directory that is available online has two restaurants, an Orange Julius and a cookie shop, but no pizza place. You can also see in this photo that the players were not wearing their baseball spikes in the mall. Still hope they wiped the seat down when he was done.

  1. The advertising half-man hanging on the wall beside Lutticken is a bit ominous...

  2. Oh man... I'd love to sip on an Orange Julius right now. Haven't had one in years... maybe a decade. But back in the 80's, there were few treats tastier than one of those.
