1993 Game Replay (July 1, New York Mets at Florida Marlins)

Image
Here is another replay game that I randomly picked to play,  so let's set the ground work.  For this game, we will replay the 1993 regular season game between the New York Mets and the Florida Marlins.  Both teams struggled for the season and ended up on the bottom of the NL East Standings.  The Mets had retooled and looked like that had some talent, but they never pulled it together and had some injuries all year long.  Jeff Torborg started as the manager but by the time this game was played, the Mets had made a change and brought in Dallas Green.  For the expansion Marlins, many of the players it drafted were unproven but went on to be pretty good.  But like most expansion teams, it just wasn't enough.  Somehow, they managed to be better than the last place Mets.  In the real game, the Marlins beat the Mets 7-5.  To replay the game, I thought it would be fun to use the 1968 Topps Game Baseball Cards.  Each batter draws a card and ...

Card Detective #1

Card Detective #1 1993 Topps Stadium Club #157 What we know: 1. This is from the 1992 season. 2. This is Juan Bell making a play. 3. This is a home game for Philadelphia vs. Cincinnati. 4. Player sliding into the base is #10. What we looked up: 1. Juan Bell only played one season in Philadelphia (1992). 2. Bell only played in 46 games via Baseball Reference. 3. Of his 46 games played, only 3 were at home vs. the Reds. 4. Those dates were a doubleheader on Aug. 18 and a single game on Aug. 19. 5. In those three games, Bell played shortstop for the entire game. 6. In 1992, #10 for Cincinnati was Bip Roberts. 7. So it looks like we are looking for an attempted double play with Bip Roberts sliding into 2nd Base. 8. In the Aug. 18 game one of the double header, the Phillies 2nd Baseman for the entire game was Mariano Duncan. So my guess is that looks like him in the play.  So most likely he fed the ball to Bell.  In this game, Roberts is 1-5.  He got a single in the ...
