On My Starting Lineup Grind!
I'm getting closer to completing my ,i guess you could call it frankenset,of Oakland A's Starting Lineup figures.I was going to stop at the 88 releases ,but that was only 3 figures deep,so I've decided to piece my team together with other A's figures released from 1989 thru 1991. Steinbach was kind of the exception here as this figure here Is from the 96 run.It was way cheaper than his 89 fig and I needed a Steinbach,so there's that. There Isn't much to tell this figure apart from the others that I have on display other than the lettering on the back of his jersey.The letters are green with a yellow outline, modeled after the 96 unis but you can't tell that unless you turn the figure around.So In my mind,this Is 1980's Steinbach .The smallest "Bash Brother" Steinbach. The 1987 Donruss Rated Rookies Steinbach. It's a cool figure but I couldn't help but chuckle at the softball he's about to chuck down to second base.Also ...
