1992 Topps #989 Rosario Rodriguez

Today's missing Topps card is #989 Rosario Rodriguez

Rosario made it to the Majors in 1989 with the Cincinnati Reds. He played with them in 1990, winning the World Series that year, and then got traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates at the end of the season. He played with them in 1991, his final season in the Bigs. 

Rosario only pitched in 9 games in 1990, but still got a 1991 Topps card. I guess because he was part of the World Champions and he was a rookie they decided to give him a card. He also appeared in the 1990 Topps MLB Debut set, even though he didn't get a 1990 Topps Traded card. 

Rosario got his first and only Topps card in the 1991 Topps set. He is missing cards from the 1990 Topps Traded and 1991 Topps Traded sets to complete his career Topps run. Besides the 1992 Topps custom, I've done his 1991 Topps Traded custom, leaving only the 1990 Topps Traded card keeping his career Topps run from being finished. 

Thanks for checking out my latest post.
