2005 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes #64

Year: 2005
Manufacturer: Upper Deck
Set: Baseball Heroes, Heroes
Card Number: 64
Card Type: Base

Still working on going though Robin's 2005 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes base cards.  Here we are on his second to last card, #64.  There are a few achievements in a baseball player's career that will almost certainly guarantee you a place in Cooperstown and Robin reach one of those on Sept 9, 1992.  I was in my first year of college in central Wisconsin and I remember the front page of both the Milwaukee Journal and Sentinel, back where they were separate papers,  had Robin on the front. As well as a huge feature in the sports section.  I know I have those in the collection somewhere, most likely buried in my parents basement somewhere.

2005 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes #63

Year: 2005
Manufacturer: Upper Deck
Set: Baseball Heroes, Heroes
Card Number: 63
Card Type: Base


Continuing our series of Robin's 2005 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes base cards we get to card #63.  Card 63 celebrates Robin's second MVP award and season in 1989.  This was a year I remember very well.  While I had gotten into baseball and baseball cards in 1987, 1989 was really the first year I followed it, and more importantly I followed the Brewers.  It's a little sad Robin had such a great season that year and still didn't make the All-Star team.
