The front: It's a rainy day at Yankee Stadium, the umbrellas are out: it's another card from May 11, 1980, like those of John Castino and Geoff Zahn. Edwards went 1-for-4 in the 5-0 loss to the Yankees.
The back: Edwards's many stops in the minor leagues began with four different Florida cities.
The player: Edwards played three seasons for the Twins, and was then traded to the Padres for whom he played in '81 and '82. Overall in 321 major league games he hit .238 with 14 HR and 73 RBI.The man: Edwards seems to have kept a low profile since his playing career. His facebook profile indicates that he is self-employed and lives in Houston.
My collection: I have 10 of his cards, from 1980 to 1983. I would be interested in trading for 1980 Minnesota Twins Postcards #NNO.
I don't think I have ever attended an MLB game where people used umbrellas. I wonder how much they obscured the view for fans seated above them.
