Catcher behind plate
For inspirational game:
Abbott's no-hitter
 |
| 1988 Topps #645 Matt Nokes (ASR, RC) |
Nokes had the best view in the stadium of a historic and awe inspiring pitching performance when he caught Jim Abbott's no-hitter against the Indians in 1993.
An underrated Yankee, he was one of the few big bats on the early 90s teams.
ReplyDeleteVery cool that he got to be a part of such a historic event. I remember having a 10ct. snap-it box with several of these 88T rookie cards back in 1988. Thought I was gonna get rich off of them.
ReplyDeleteI remember mostly from his time with the Yankees, but didn't know that he caught Jim's no-hitter.
