YDF, 7.28.14

2003 Topps Total #69

Did you know that Ellis Burks finished third in NL MVP voting in 1996?  He cracked 40 homers, scored 142 runs and compiled a .344 that season.  Had to believe those kind of numbers only get you third place.  Anyhow, this is Burks' second of three Topps Total cards he'd have.  His appearance as a Red Sock in the 2004 set was one of the final cards produced of the former first-round draft pick.

    1. Haha, fair enough! Shorthand for "Yer Daily Fix." I just got lazy and figured if Col. Sanders can do it for KFC, so can I!
