The 625s, Part III

One of the great switch hitters of all time, one of only seven players with 3,000+ hits and 500+ HR. Nice day game shot at Yankee Stadium.

Won Game 7 of the 1986 World Series. Even conservative Topps couldn't avoid showing a little of McDowell's goofiness.

MVP of the 1988 All Star Game. Photos like this weren't used by Topps before this set. Unfortunately they don't do this kind of photo today either. Great close-up action shot.

In 1988 McReynolds set a record (since broken) for most consecutive steals without being caught (21). Looks like he hit a foul ball to left in Philadelphia.

Won Game 6 of the 1986 and 1991 World Series. Great card, I've loved it since I got it in '93. You can see how confusing high fly balls would be to outfielders.

Rangers all-time leader in wins and strikeouts. Cool to see what appears to be an in-game moment of Hough laughing and showing off the knuckleball grip.

Replaced Steve Carlton in Philadelphia in 1986 and finished seventh in the Rookie of the Year voting. The photo shows the power of his delivery.

Replaced Tim Wallach in Montreal in 1993 and finished seventh in the Rookie of the Year voting. This was Topps's return to longer sets after going short from 1996-2000. Solid action shot in Cleveland.

1995 AL MVP. In 2002 you could still get a nice spring training shot with lots of background detail.

Hit .364 in the 1998 World Series. Another great spring training shot, especially if you like trees.

My favorite: Several good junk wax cards here but 1993 is an easy pick for my favorite.
