I have ten cards of Mark Bailey. This one is from 1985 Fleer.
Playing career: Mark Bailey was a catcher for the Astros in
the mid-1980s. In 340 games he hit .220 with 24 HR and 101 RBI. The Greatest 21
Days has a full profile of his career, as well as an interview.
My memories: 1986 was my first year as a baseball fan, and I
actually did not collect cards that year; instead I collected stickers for the
Topps sticker album. Bailey’s sticker, coming off his promising 1985 rookie
year, was one of the first I got, so he always stuck in my mind as being much
more prominent than he actually was.
Where he is now: Hitting coach for the Corpus Christi Hooks
in the Astros organization.
Google Autocomplete results: He is first when you type Mark
Bai, ahead of Mark Baiada, President of BAYADA Home Health Care. The first
result when you google Mark Bailey is not the ballplayer but a documentary
writer.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Roger Bailey.
