1990 Topps, Benny Santiago

Card No. 35

If you were a Little League catcher in the late '80s or early '90s, chances are that you occasionally pretended you were Benny Santiago....Hard as I tried, gunning down a would-be base stealer from my knees never ended well....Beginning with his 1987 Traded rookie though '95, Santiago was listed as 'Benny' on his cards....From '96 to his final card in 2004, he was listed as 'Benito'....The former N.L. Rookie of the Year picked up his third Silver Slugger and his third consecutive Gold Glove in 1990 for San Diego.
