1983 Topps Super Veterans: A's Vs. Tigers

A.L. Divisional Series Edition



Bartolo Colon pitched 5 innings in his April 4, 1997 debut. Left the game tied at 4-4 versus the Angels. The Indians eventually lost the game in spectacular fashion. Tim Salmon hit a walk-off Grand Slam off Paul Shuey in the 12th inning.


On August 22, 1997 Torii Hunter made his MLB debut was as a pinch runner for the Twins' 35 year old catcher Terry Steinbach. The strategy did not pay off. Matt Lawton hit into a double play. Hunter would not play in the bigs again until the following year.

  1. I'm curious to know where you found the 1997 image of Torii Hunter. Is there a high resolution color image available? Thanks!
