X marks the card

 Eric Hosmer and Robbie Alomar each got two votes and A-Gone ran away with it with eight votes.  Up next is 1987 versus 1988.  Eddie Whitson in mid delivery versus a mystery catcher and Andy Hawkins conferring with an umpire lurking.  

Thank you for stopping by and thank you for your assistance.

    Love 1987 Topps cards, that's my choice.

    Even though the 1987 Topps set is one of my favorites, I am going away from that team card and go for the Ed Whitson Donruss card.

    I feel like a team-based Frankenset could use a good team card.

    Not much excitement here. Going with '87.

    I like the 1987 team leaders.

    I do not like those "team" cards where they have only a couple of players but don't identify them, so Whitson gets my vote.

    Although I like the '87 Topps design, I'm not a big fan of cards with people whose faces you cannot see (but I really like Hawkins' first name, lol). I actually have always liked the '88 Donruss design too (something you don't hear others admit very often). So the '88 Whitson gets my vote.

    I used to enjoy those team leader cards back in the day. The '87 gets my vote!

    1987 Topps Padres Leaders card gets my vote.

    I know a few people aren't into the team cards... but I feel like it adds some variety to the frankenset. As for the meeting on the mound, I tried to do a little detective work... but ultimately failed. Here are my findings though:

    a. Hawkings pitched to four different catchers in 1986: Bochy (7 games), Kennedy (25 games), Parent (1 game), and Santiago (4 games).

    b. According to Collectors.com, this cards features Kennedy

    After about ten minutes, I realized that if Rod has no idea who that Padres catcher is... there is no way I was ever going to find out.
