here's a nice card featuring dodger stadium along with an early appearance by a lurking mike scioscia. it's gary matthews' 1981 fleer card
fleer was great. while topps (based in new york) preferred shea and yankee stadiums, fleer took a lot of photos in dodger stadium, especially for their 1982 and 1984 sets. with this matthews card, we get a good glimpse of the camera well and a little bit of those field level seats that really were at field level behind home plate.i remember matthews more vividly from his time in philadelphia, probably because he destroyed the dodgers in the last two games of the 1983 nlcs as a member of the phillies. in that series, he hit .429 with an incredible 1.571 ops. i believe that matthews himself identifies more as a phillie, since that is where i sent his 1978 topps card to be signed.
thanks sarge!
