Next up is another Zistle trade with Dave. This time he reached out looking for a bunch of commons and was patient waiting for my acceptance.
I think the most interesting card, besides Ramon Castro hamming it up on his card, is that Doc Gooden Bowman card. Gooden is shown wearing number 64, but we all know him for his number 16 during his Mets tenure. Gooden did wear number 64 during his first big league camp, but changed over to number 16 once called up, but this card was in 1993. My best guess is that he is either in Spring Training or doing a rehab stint somewhere in the minors on this card.
Like a lot of ball players and their chosen uniform numbers, Gooden was no different in his choices. Along with 16, the occasional 64 with the Mets, and 11 with the Yankees, Gooden chose his uniform numbers based on his birthday (11-16-64).
