One mustache just wasn't enough today. All of today's cards are from the '80s- well, both of the Clarks are from 1990 sets but they still count since the photography and stats are from '89. The other two guys were around before I was a fan. Perkins played his last game in brown and gold three weeks after I was born, going on to finish his career with two years in Cleveland. Poor guy. He looks like a pretty affable dude so I'm sure he made the best of it. Turner was gone before too long as well. He was released in July of '83, half a season into his second stint with the Friars. He signed with the Phillies but never played in the Majors again. As for Clark, he was around from 1988 through '92. He then went on to spend a single season each in both Colorado and Minnesota.
I used to work with Jerald Clark, after his baseball career. Great guy. Didn't have a mustache then, however (me or him).
