Happy Belated Jim Essian Major League Debut Day!

Where are all of Skip’s Phillies cards?  I can’t find a one.In the excitement of taking three of four from the Thirdinals, we missed the anniversary of the debut of Jim Essian. For that, I fail. Saturday marked the 34th anniversary of Skip’s first at-bat, as he pinch hit for Ron Diorio with Skip’s Phillies down 4-1. Skip grounded into a 6-3 putout for the first out of the fifth inning, but went on to have a solid career both at the plate and behind it.

Happy Belated Jim Essian Major League Debut Day (any way we can shorten that?)!

Happy BJEMLDD everyone!!!

Let’s just call it J-D Day.

JD should like that.

1985 Topps was great but I was an 84 and 87 fan.

87 was classic. Who didn’t love the woodgrain trim?
