1990 Topps Big Deep Dive: Tom Henke

Henke delivers in California. This must be April 30, 1989. Henke entered a 0-0 game in the bottom of the 11th, allowed a one-out double to Johnny Ray, and a two-out double to Lance Parrish to give the Angels a walk-off win.

"Baseball's just a hobby!"

At East Central College in Missouri, Henke not only pitched, but he built the dugouts. He led a bricklaying crew in Jefferson City before and during his junior college days. The dugouts were destroyed by a tornado in 2020.

    That bricklaying thing is really cool... especially building the dugout at his college. Sad to hear it was destroyed by a tornado though.
