Cards 98 & 99: Stone 1 and Stone 2
The 1990s had a lot of brands that offered nice looking sets featuring former players. I wish that Topps would make a set similar to what the Ted Williams Company of cards was doing back in 1993.

It has been quite some time since that post, but I am ready to show off the first two cards of that set.
This particular card (ES1) discusses Roberto's youth and growing up.
This card is the second in the series.
The back of this card talks of how the Dodgers signed Clemente as a teenager and how Clemente used his nickname of Momen when initially asked by the scout who he was.

Any idea why his nickname is Momen?
ReplyDeleteIt was short for momentito meaning "just a moment". The story is that he would say that often when growing up and it just stuck.
