A simple spring training or batting practice shot, something for which Topps is famous (infamous?) is used for the young Phillies catcher. Darrin went to the Phillies from the Dodgers in a September 13, 1990 trade. L. A. received pitcher Dennis Cook.
I like the batting practice look on a baseball card. The uniforms, like this one, can be stylish and stand out in a good way.
Career Stats
UPDATE: "Darrin was signed for Dodgers..." says the card. Clearly, they ran out of space for a coherent sentence.
Like so many others, Darrin loved hitting in the Pacific Coast League. Despite the part season, he led the team in homers in 1990.
'91: 42 G, 142 PA (136 AB), .228/.255/.309, 31 H, 5 R, 8 2B, 0 3B, 1 HR, 12 RBI, 5 BB, 15 K, 59 OPS+
UPDATE: Added Fletcher's five runs in the '91 stat line.
Best '91 Game: May 28 vs. Montreal: 2-5, HR, R, 4 RBI
Fletcher smacked a three-run homer off Expos starter Oil Can Boyd in the fifth inning and singled home a run in the seventh, helping propel a 12-0 blowout.
After '91: Fletcher spent 11 seasons in Canada, six with the Montreal Expos and five with the Toronto Blue Jays. A solid performer, he has the best batting average (.266), on-base percentage (.326) slugging average (.433), and most home runs (59) for an Expos/Nationals catcher since Gary Carter (UPDATE NOTE: minimum 1,000 plate appearances).
