JJ Nissen 1989 Bobby Bonilla baseball card


I loved Bobby Bonilla, I thought he was going to be as big a deal as his Pirates teammate Barry Bonds. The best thing about his career is that I believe the Mets are STILL paying his contract. JJ Nissen is a bread- baking company, they did several  runs of cards that came in the package with bread. I always noticed that they always airbrushed the team logo off the hat, as they paid the players association, not MLB.

1990 Topps Mini Leaders #70 Barry Bonds

How this skinny young Pittsburgh Pirate became the bulked-up fearsome home run king is one of the key stories in the sport from the "Steroid Era."

Love him or hate him, the guy could hit.
