Night Owl Cards

I was sifting through a recent purchase of Heritage High Numbers when I came across two cards that are somewhat related. The first is of Matt Buschmann in his off-putting Diamondbacks uniform. But you can understand his willingness to wear such garb when you turn the card over. Check out those complete minor league stats. Isn't that glorious? I used to marvel over the lengthy yearly stats of players with the strange team names when I was a kid. I can't imagine today's world-savvy kids pondering Lake Elsinore as if it's a distant land, but I appreciate the effort here. The player with the most years in the minors before reaching the majors is former Dodger John Lindsey. But after 16 years in the minors, the only major-issue cards that he appeared on (that I know of) were Allen & Ginter and Bowman -- two sets that don't recognize complete stats. Very disappointing. If Buschmann never has another card -- he's pitched in three whole games this year...
