Dwight Evans as a Baltimore Oriole always throws me.

Not a HOF caliber player, but I've met former Red Sox catcher Rich Gedman a few times...the last time he was signing autographs and someone presented him a card of him as a member of the Houston Astros. I said "Oh wow, I forgot you played for the Astros." His reply? "Me too.".

Since we're talking about players whose final seasons were with teams fans wouldn't associate them with, I thought this would be of interest.

Bobby Abreu played his final season with the Mets. I don't have a card showing him as Met - I don't know if one exists - but I was at his last game in 2014, and after his final Major League at-bat the Mets put a graphic on the scoreboard thanking him for 18 great Major League seasons.



I thought that was weird, because 17 of those great seasons were against the Mets.

And you know, I would have like to have seen a capper card for Spahn with the complete career record.

Abreu did appear on a few Mets cards, and I agree, it's weird.
