The COVID lot likes to sometimes give a good start to a PC collection, even though it isn't my thing. IN this case, any cards that I don't need for set builds, will all be going to Mike at Not Another Baseball Card Blog, given the Expos connection.
Floyd was only really with the Expos for the first few years of his career, and a short 15 game stint in 2002, but the mass produced sets of the early 90s definitely make me think of the Expos as his team. He also played for Florida, Boston, The Mets, Cubs Tampa Bay Rays, and Padres.
Floyd batter .278 for his career, hit 233 home runs and had 865 RBIs over 17 seasons in the big leagues. He was able to get one World Series as part of the Florida team in 1997 - though could have had a second possibly if it wasn't for the 1994 strike causing the Expos to lose out on what was their best chance at one.
Though he was never a HOF caliber player, he was a solid hand throughout his career, and since playing, has had a number of broadcasting stints so stays around the game which is very nice and shows how much he enjoys the game and wanting to keep around it, as well as having the opportunity.
So you're telling me I should expect a Floyd flood?
ReplyDeleteA good way to put it....haven't sent yet, but might get something out this weekend....
DeleteIf it wasn't for injuries...that guy was a stud. I saw him go from first to home so fast you couldn't believe it for his size in his first or second year. Part of the reason people might see him as an Expo is that every set for a couple of years had him in every insert set they could, as a rookie and pre-rookie. Love Cliff Floyd! Plus now he also takes care if his sister's kids as well...
ReplyDeleteInjuries were definitely a big culprit - always unfortunate - but good on him re his sister's kids
