i've recently obtained a number of cards of former all-star and gold glove winner tony fernandez and former, well, ballplayer mark lemke featuring each of them turning double plays. let's have a look.
1994 pinnacle fernandez
vs. 1994 pinnacle lemke
despite an appearance by double play wizard omar vizquel, the landscape card wins. lemke 1, fernandez 0.
1994 score fernandez
vs. 1994 score lemke
which also comes in a gold rush parallel form
fernandez looks more graceful on his card, so he gets the nod. fernandez 1, lemke 1
1996 fleer fernandez
which also has a tiffany parallel
vs. 1997 fleer ultra lemke
i give this one to lemke because he is not a yankee. fernandez 1, lemke 2.
1998 pacific crown collection fernandez
vs. 1997 upper deck collector's choice lemke
both landscape cards (well, the pacific card is, sort of), but the lemke is so much cleaner, and the outfield fence appears to be level. not really fernandez's fault, but oh well. final score is tony fernandez 1, mark lemke 3.
that means we get to see a bonus mark lemke double play card - it comes from 1997 pacific
and features beautiful dodger stadium (at least its old outfield railing) in the background.
way to go, lemke!
