The cards mention teams that these guys were on up to 2006. I checked to see what teams these guys played for. I'll also add anything else of note.
Card # / Player on Front / Player on Back
02 - Gus Polidor / Angel Vargas
Polidor - 1985 - 90, 1993 - Cal. Mil, Fla. -- 229 games; 459 ABs
Vargas - minors only
03 - Andres Galarraga / Marlon Nava
Galarraga - 19 years; 399 homers - 7 teams; MVP votes in 7 seasons
Nava - the card mentioned the Twins but I don't see anything on baseball-reference.com
04 - Omar Vizquel / Carlos Tovar Trillo
Vizquel - 24 years! 2,877 hits; 11 Gold Gloves
Trillo - Toronto is mentioned on the back but I don't see anything on baseball-reference.com
05 - Carlos Hernandez / Fernando Lunar
Hernandez - three MLB players had this name; he played 10 years - 488 games, mainly at Catcher
Lunar - played 97 games in three seasons with Atl. and Balt. - all at Catcher
06 - Urbano Lugo / Jesus Azuaje
Lugo - pitched for six years; 6-7 W-L record
Azuaje - listed as Cleve.; he played in the minors for a long time
07 - Henry Blanco / Jesus Marquez
Blanco - I didn't realize that he played 16 MLB seasons. He wore 12 different numbers on 11 teams.
Marquez - listed as Seattle; he played in the minors
08 - Roger Cedeno / Omar Sanchez
Cedeno - played exactly 1100 games in 11 years with five teams.
Sanchez - Toronto is listed on the card but I didn't find stats for him
09 - Dilson Torres / Hector Ortega
Torres - played 5 games with the 1995 Royals winning 1 game and losing 2.
Ortega - played for a while in the minors
I didn't watch baseball for a long time after the 1994 baseball strike so some of these guys I missed. I also didn't buy any new cards so I don't remember their names from collecting.
More next time.
I love me some Omar. Wonder if he'll get an invitation to Cooperstown.
