#289 Syd O'Brien 

Short uneventful career….at this point three years three clubs Red Sox, White Sox, and Angels….hit OK with some pop….brutal in the field….25 errors cumulated over three positions in 1970 soured any offensive asset brought to  the table by his bat….then a .199 BA with Angels was pretty much the nail in the coffin….was able to start 1972 in Anaheim but midseason was shuffled to Milwaukee…two clubs combined for .193 BA.....last MLB season...one of three and the most recent player with the name Syd.

    I never liked that the positions were missing from the front of the card. For little-known guys like this, you can't where he plays until turning the card over.

    Yes the absence of positions the most glaring issue with the set. One think they could have squeezed one position in there and change the front on really long names.

    "brutal in the field" haha, just look at that body language. No wonder he was brutal! (sorry, couldn't resist)
