oh my omar!

so, the double play cards are slowing to a trickle.  i hope to have them all posted by sometime next week as there are a few stragglers i need to corral and scan.  i will start mixing in more non-dp posts so if you've been missing the double dippers or the evolution of the 1978 topps dodgers posts, your nightmare is almost over.

before that, however, we have some double play cards of one of the masters to celebrate.  omar vizquel has a lot of double play cards, but actually fewer than i would have thought.  for some reason, he is shown batting quite a bit on his cards.  the following are all from his heyday in cleveland, and they are awesome.

especially this, his 1996 upper deck card

my, that's purty.

here's his 1995 leaf card

1997 pinnacle

1997 topps stadium club

1998 leaf (hello big daddy)

1999 fleer sports illustrated

1999 fleer ultra (derek bell initiated 'operation break up double play', apparently)

2000 skybox metal

2002 fleer ultra

2003 donruss

2004 fleer ultra

and another nice one, 2005 fleer ultra

he was definitely one of the greats.
