Lets sum it up like this, journeyman catcher, awarded Manager of the Year with the Marlins who rewarded Girardi by firing him and went on to manage the New York Yankees and already has one World Series ring. (2009).
Debuted in 1989 with the Cubs he was a weak hit great glove catcher for the Cubs, Yankees, Rockies and Cards. Was an All-Star for the Cubs in 2000 and won three Worlds Series with the Yankees. (1996, 1998-1999).
What else can you say about a 70's style catcher? 36 homeruns in his career and not much else. As a manager he certainly has had much more of an impact.
As for the card itself, it appears it is either a spring training 'in action' shot or taken at the old Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego.
