1989 Topps Major League Debut #118: Mike Smith



Mike Smith

PHOTO: Well, well, well. This is certainly one of the most interesting photos in the set, immediately reminding me at Al Leiter's 1988 Topps card (not that it's Leiter on that card.) I guess this was taken late in the day or something, although the black edges all around Smith does make this one look Photoshopped.

Four Mike Smiths have played MLB.

STAT: Interesting list--the 5 guys to homer off Mike Smith. One of them is Bam Bam.

ANAGRAM: Mike Smith = I skim them

CAREER: 1/10

Only 23 big-league innings for Mr. Smith, plus a 8.22 career ERA.
