Fun with 100 Minor League Sets

[swarmee]

I'm thinking about putting together a collection of minor league costumed mascots. If you break apart any sets that have mascots, I'll take the lot for $1/each.

That's a fun idea. I'll have to check to see if any of these have mascot cards in them...so far the 2-3 I have opened don't, but some might. If they don't sell as complete sets I may break them up and try that way. We'll see how it goes but you have dibs on any mascot cards I uncover.

1994 Fleer ProCards Tucson Toros


The Tourists had Jamey Wright and John Thomson. Also a number of guys who this was their only card ever...A ball can be tough!

The Toros (no relation to Tourists) have a number of recognizable names, including Eric Bell, Jim Dougherty, Domingo Jean, Craig McMurtry, Scooter Tucker, Roberto Petagine, Brian L. Hunter, and Phil Nevin! They went 81-63 and finished 2nd in their division.

A couple more:

1994 Fleer ProCards Bowie Baysox

1994 Fleer ProCards Pawtucket Red Sox

The Baysox features a number of recognizable names, including Armando Benitez, Joe Borowski, Steve Chitren, Vaughn Eshelman, Edgar Alfonzo, Curtis Goodwin, and Alex Ochoa.

The Pawsox team...man, that's my local team, and my senior year in high school. The team wasn't great, and didn't have much for guys who spent time in the bigs...but I know these names. Frankie Rodriguez was a high draft pick who didn't pan out. Bob Zupzic, Gar Finnvold. How can that have been 27 years ago?!

Both Jamey and John came through Colorado Springs on their way to the Rockies. And both were generous signers while they were here.

Nice...always glad to hear about guys who were good signers on the way up. I used to get the Red Sox minor league team sets every year and 'graph...either in person (Pawtucket) or TTM (everywhere else).
