1997 Topps, Fernando Vina

Card No. 213

Second baseman Fernando Vina goes airborne to avoid the sliding Chris Hoiles in this great action shot from 1997 Topps....This is Vina's Topps rookie....For their '97 base cards, Topps gave red borders to A.L. players while the N.L. counterparts have green borders....This is back when the Brewers were an A.L. club, obviously....Fernando was originally drafted by the Mets in 1990, then traded to Milwaukee in December of '94....Slugged a grand slam off Jack McDowell, leading the Brewers to a 10-2 drubbing of the Indians, 4/18/97.
