Rich Bordi, 1986 Topps Traded #14T

Sure, you need a picture of Rich Bordi in his new Orioles threads, but don't go to any extra trouble, Mr. Photographer. Just snap a few quick shots in front of a pile of crap or something. He's just a middle reliever, anyway. Probably won't even be in the league in a couple of years. It's Spring Training, and you're a busy guy. Let's just get on with it.

Juan Beniquez, 1986 Topps Traded #8T

Journeyman Juan Beniquez played for 8 different teams in 17 big league seasons, all within the American League. At age 36, he joined the Orioles for the 1986 season. He had a decent enough year, batting .300/.372/.397 with a 112 OPS+, 6 homers and 36 RBI in 395 plate appearances. He played all three outfield positions, both infield corners, and DH. Just imagine what he could have done if he'd had a  few more gold necklaces to blind opposing pitchers.
