Barry Larkin Collection 777: 1990 Star Gold - #92

Barry Larkin
Year:  1990
Brand:  Star Gold
Card number:  92


This is the second card (out of nine) of Barry Larkin in the 1990 Star Gold set.  Each of the cards highlights a different aspect of young Larkin's career up to that point in time.  

For card #92, that aspect is Barry's statistics in All-Star games.  If I'm being honest, this isn't a great stat for Larkin in 1990...at that point he'd been selected to two All-Star games (1988 and 1989) but went 0-2 with a K in 1988 and didn't play in the other game in 1989.  Heck, overall Larkin's entire career it is clear that All-Star games aren't his forte.  In a grand total of 18 at bats spread out over nine different All-Star games, Larkin managed to bat only .111 (2 for 18) with two singles, two RBI, and 1 run scored (to go along with three strikeouts).  

I do own all nine of Larkin's base cards from the 1990 Star Gold set so you'll be seeing them all posted as part of my ongoing Barry Larkin Collection as time goes on.  For now, if you'd like you can go back and see his first card in the set here:  Card #91.
