inspired by fuji and amused by ashley

i received some cards from fuji a while back.  it was a great mix of dodgers, including a 2002 leaf certified joe thurston jersey card

and a 2000 fleer ultra eric karros gold medallion edition parallel

i also received a 1992 topps eric karros gold 'winner' card

which shows karros in a posed ready to bat stance.

using some of the other cards in the package, we can follow a dodger swing from the ready position on karros' card, to this 1997 donruss dodgers team set greg gagne card

to this 1998 donruss preferred raul mondesi die-cut card

to this 1995 score select billy ashley card

that ashley card is fantastic.  it's got the pinnacle museum treatment and an umpire noting that ashley 'can't miss'.  he missed.

back to that donruss dodger team card of gagne.  fuji included almost a complete team set.  here's roger cedeno's card

there were three cards missing, so i went to sportlots to complete the set.  of course, i needed the big 3 of the time - raul mondesi

hideo nomo

and mike piazza

thanks for the cards fuji, and for the inspiration to complete a team set!
