127 - SAMMY SOSA, CUBS, OF

 

The basics: This is the third straight card of a player who also has a card in the team checklist paintings that appear at the end of the set.

 

Card thoughts: Sammy Sosa appears to be booking around third base there at Wrigley Field against the Phillies/Cardinals/Reds.

 

 

Backs are important in '93 UD: You can see Sosa's power and length in the photo. 1992 was his first season with the Cubs after being traded by the White Sox just before the season began. He struggled in his first year in Wrigley but emerged in 1993 into the player we know now.

More from '93: San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was born on this day in 1993.
