I beg to differ on this one Dusty! That card should have NEVER been printed. He didn't even make the team.

Dave was released because he was finished. His time was up in the sport. He wasn't traded or lost to Free Agency. Dave tried to make the Angels team. But, just couldn't do it.
His bid to make the team ended on a Tuesday–March 28–1988 and Concepcion retired playing for no team other than the Reds in a regular season game.

My favorite player of all time. I should know. Killed me when he was let go and retired...:Sad04:
