Random Card #20

I don't really care for the design of 1988 Fleer. I just don't think it was that imaginative. It reminded me of strewn confetti when I was a kid. This was slightly better than the '89 design, which was slightly better than the '90 design, which was slightly better than the YELLOW monstrosity that was '91.

The color scheme works well with Harold's uniform. It's very eye pleasing. This is a standout card from a below average designed set.

One can tell a lot about Harold from this card. He's focused (even when posing), he's quiet and reserved, killing baseballs is his business... and business is good. Plus, he's still playing the outfield. This means that his knees haven't given out yet.

You can see the batter's eye in this photo, but you can also see the sweetness that surrounds Harold's nature. It's the combination of both of these qualities that made Harold a player in demand when pennant runs were abound.
