Jim Adduci Sr. Phillies 1989

Jim Adduci Sr. apparently is less well known than his son but for about four years (1982-1986) he wasn't a bad hitter, consistently posting .800+ OPS in the minors. Despite this, the Cards and Brewers only took brief peeks at him. By 1989, he was 30 years old and not the hitter he had been just a few years before. He got into a few games with the Phillies and Tastykake did a card of him for that year's team set. I had never seen a copy of it, but kylessportcards just posted one on ebay. Here it is.

I still haven't seen Adduci as a Cardinal, though...
