1998 Pinnacle Performers

I've been running a group break over on my blog - this is a pack from that particular break (pack #22 from the Pinnacle box for those keeping track of such things).

1998 Pinnacle Performers


16.  Mark McGwire - Cardinals

39.  Bernie Williams - Yankees
One thing I noticed from the set is often the better picture is on the back of the card rather than the front.  Weird...
77.  Todd Hundley - Mets

81.  Jason Kendall - Pirates

96.  Jeff Abbott - White Sox


119.  Miguel Tejada - Athletics

126.  Juan Encarnacion - Tigers

149.  Checklist

There are three checklists in the set - they are numbered as part of the set and make up the last three cards in the set.  I'm pretty sure I used the word set too many times for one sentence.
32 of 50.  Vinny Castilla - Swing for the Fences - Rockies

The Swing for the Fences cards were part of an insert contest thing. The idea was to find the league homerun leader AND find a card depicting the correct number of homeruns that player hit in order to win some sort of prize.
