I'm getting into the home stretch of my evolution study so it's time for another break.
The technology of baseball hasn't changed much over the year. The basic ball-bat-glove has been with us forever, with improvements over the years. But there's more than just baseball technology around the ballpark.
1988 Topps #74 Tommy Lasorda
Golf carts, in one guise or another, are often used to bring in a relief pitcher. I'm guessing Tommy was used to be driven around in style at spring training.
1992 Upper Deck #78 Jim Abbott
Jim, while apparently visiting his old dorm room at the University of Michigan.
1993 Upper Deck #173 Doug Jones
Doug taking home movies at the ball park. I don't think that's the Astrodome however.
1994 Collector's Choice #240 Cal Ripken, Jr.
Cal ordering pizza from the dugout with a giant cordless phone.
1994 Pinnacle #100 Ken Griffey Jr.
Ken was willing to show his 35mm vacation slides anywhere anytime.
1994 Pinnacle #157 Ryan Klesko
Ryan getting some tips in case his on-field career doesn't last.
1995 Collector’s Choice Special Edition #38 Craig Biggio
Craig filling in while the cameraman takes a bathroom break.
1997 Donruss #191 Brett Butler
Another giant phone. People must have had bigger pockets then.
1997 Upper Deck #49 Charles Nagy
Charles getting in some work at spring training.
1998 Stadium Club #284 Sean Berry
One of the original Astro 'Killer Bs". I didn't think bees could fly in the rain.
