Episode 79: Upper Deck 1990 Baseball Card Collector Michael Unger, Part 9

If you're a fan of Michael Unger's 1990 Upper Deck baseball card project, then it doesn't get better than this episode of The K.P. Wee Podcast—which features a non-stop stream of sports history, trivia, game deconstructions, and remembrances. Enjoy this return visit from a fan favorite known to baseball card collectors through his social media handles udeck1990@Twitter or upperdeck1990@Insta. Michael and K.P. do a deep dive into some of the exciting (if sometimes forgotten or obscure) players that Michael has been posting about daily as he works his way systematically through each of his 1990 Upper Deck baseball cards. His social media posts have created a community through which he and K.P. initially connected and became friends.  Today's episode includes mention of pitchers Jim Abbott, Jeff Russell, Bob Milacki, and Jack McDowell. K.P. mentions a couple of unpleasant memories with Russell (including a quote given to the press about the city of Boston) and a funny story about McDowell from the 1995 ALDS, while Michael shares his research on some fascinating tidbits related to these players. He even mentions some memories concerning Mark McGwire and hockey star Stephane Richer.
