The Glory Days

[nyjunc]

I found some old cards, these are from the dark days of the Yankees in the late 80s-early 90s. It sucked losing but it used to be alot of fun as a kid going to the games and being able to get any seat I wanted.

2 of the 3 players we acquired for Rickey Henderson from small market Oakland(see we used to get fleeced too at the trade deadline), Luis Polonia was the 3rd:

Eric (Ker)Plunk


Greg Cadaret




Bucky was an up and coming Manager


Deion was an exciting, yet bad, player

[nyjunc]

What a staff!





Hawkins pitched a no-hitter and we LOST

[nyjunc]

What a powerful lineup that featured Steve "Bye Bye" Balboni in his 2nd stint w/ the Yanks


Jesse Barfield, who we traded Al Leiter to get


Young, powerful Bob Geren behind the plate


The Jewel of the system, Hensley "Bam Bam" Meulens

[nyjunc]

Lance McCullers was acquired in the big trade w/ SD that also landed us Jimmy Jones


Former Met great from their glory year of 1986, Raffy Santana


Don Slaught helped to groom Bob Geren


Lee Guetterman anchored the pen

Hal Morris was a good, young prospect but never got his shot here b/c of #23


I can't put into words what Alvaro Espinoza meant to this franchise


Joel Skinner used his days as a Yankee great to eventually become a big league Manager for the Indians

Last but not least(I have more but last for the dark days) was a ray of sunshine that helped turn is back into the a big team team and led to the latest dynasty in Yankee history.

We traded Roberto Kelly to Cincy for Paul O'Neill


Here is a young Bernabe Williams who thankfully didn't learn a thing from Mel Hall(sorry I don't have a Hall card)

I remember being pissed about that trade. I liked Roberto Kelly!

I saw Jesse Barfield hit a homerun at Heritage Park for the AA Albany-Colonie Yankees. He was on a rehab assignment. Those game were fun when I was a kid. I got to see Bernie Williams, and some scrub middle-infielder named Derek Jeter among others.

Now I wish I saved some of those programs!

And lets not forget our favorite second string Firstbaseman of that era. The Legendary Kevin Maas!
