AP Laser Wire Photos

Here are more of the photos sent from Al in Ontario

 June 27, 1989: Tim Wallach drove in the winning run with a single in the bottom of the 14th inning in this game to lead the Expos to a 3-2 win over the Mets.  Wallach went 2 for 3 and also had 4 walks in the game.


June 27, 1989: The Expos beat the Mets 4-3, with Wallach going 2 for 3 with 2 RBI's a double and a walk.  The picture shows a blown call by the umpire.



June 28, 1989: From the same game as above


July 13, 1989: Wallach went 2 for 4 with a home run to lead the Expos to a 6-3 win over the Reds.

July 14, 1989: The Expos beat the Reds 1-0 in this game.  Wallach scored the games only run in the top of the 2nd inning.  He led off the inning with a walk, advanced to 2nd on a Damasio Garcia single, then took 3rd on a Mike Fitzgerald line out (pictured above).  Wallach then scored on a Spike Owen infield ground out.  Bryn Smith threw 8 1/3 scoreless for the Expos.

This is one of my favorite pictures included in the lot.  Wallach was never known for his base running, so it's sort of cool to see an action shot on the base paths like this.  Even cooler when the context of the game is known.  Umpire John McSherry looks like a giant in this picture.

1994 Upper Deck #408




















Card Review: 4.8 This is an interesting photo for the front of a card.  Part of me likes that it's unique.  But a larger part of me is annoyed.  Is it supposed to be a card for Tommy Lasorda or Tim Wallach?  This card would have worked a lot better if the picture on the back were on the front, and photo on the front were on the back.  And I don't like how the same picture appears twice on the front, that space could be better used with a different photo, team logo, pretty much anything besides the same photo in black and white.
Fun Facts: *Wallach only wore #25 for one season, switching back to #29 for the '94 season.
*Lenny Harris wore #29 for the Dodgers in 1993
Number of this card in my collection: 33
