Phil Bradley #55/519/18T

 

We discussed 3 Phil Bradley cards this week! Phil was a record breaking Mizzou Football QB before starting a career with the Seattle Mariners.. He was an All Star in 1985 hitting 26 homers with a .300 average. He spent 8 seasons in MLB and one with Yomiuri Giants in NPB. Phil has some sweet Mimsbandz, LLC  wristbands on the team leader card!

Larry Andersen #342

 

This week, we talked about a prankster slider throwing righty, once traded 1 for 1 for future HOFer Jeff Bagwell. It’s Larry Andersen! The right handed reliever pitched for 17 seasons, racking up 699 appearances, 995 innings and a career 3.15 ERA (121 ERA+). We also consulted some Philadelphia Phillies fans about Larry’s announcing style!
