The basics: Leo Gomez's lone card in the '93 Upper Deck set and the sixth Oriole to appear so far.
Card thoughts: Gomez leaning out of the way of an inside pitch, apparently. I wonder what he thought of Upper Deck's choice of a photo?
Backs are important in '93 UD: Gomez was somewhat of a young sensation at this time. He finished eighth in Rookie of the Year voting in 1991 and then enjoyed the only 100-plus hit season of his career in 1992. He batted below .200 in '93.
I like the fielding shot.
More from '93: On this date in 1993, Sports Illustrated released its NBA season preview issue with Alonzo Mourning and Bill Russell on the cover. The cover heading said "The Now Generation" and celebrated young players like Mourning and Shaquille O'Neal.
I must have had a subscription to SI back in 1993... because I remember owning that Mourning/Russell issue.
