The basics: Luis Polonia appears for the only time in the 1993 Upper Deck set. This is the 10th Angels card in the set so far. Three of them were connected to Jim Abbott earlier on.
Card thoughts: This has to be one of the better bunting shots in the set with Polonia executing the drag variety. It's tough to tell from the angle, but it looks like the ball is about to -- or already has -- hit his foot.
Backs are important for '93 UD: That's an interesting fielding position with a bat instead of a glove.
Polonia was never more utilized than during his three years with the Angels and he was among the league leaders in triples and stolen bases during that time. But he also led the league in caught stealing each year from 1991-93.
More from '93: On this date in 1993, The Smashing Pumpkins released its four-time platinum album Siamese Dream. One of dozens of CDs I bought in '93, it remains one of my favorite albums of the '90s.
A. Remember Polonia from his time with the A's. He was part of the trade that brought Rickey back to them in 1989.
ReplyDeleteB. Bought the Siamese Dream CD in 1993 as well. Great album.
