Add a classic Major League issue of Bruce Fields with this 1989 Topps #556 card featuring him as a member of the Seattle Mariners, personally autographed by the former Detroit Tigers and Mariners outfielder. The card is correctly identified as 1989 Topps #556 Bruce Fields Seattle Mariners.
The 1989 Topps set features the familiar curved team-name design that has become one of the recognizable looks of the late-1980s Topps era. For Fields collectors, #556 is especially appealing because it represents his time in the Seattle Mariners organization, following his earlier Detroit Tigers cards.
Fields had joined Seattle after beginning his Major League career with Detroit. He received his most extensive MLB playing time with the 1988 Mariners, appearing in 39 games and batting .269 with 18 hits, five doubles and a home run in 67 at-bats.
The season in which this card was issued became Fields' final year in the Major Leagues. He spent most of 1989 with Triple-A Calgary, where he enjoyed an outstanding season, but returned briefly to Seattle. In three games for the 1989 Mariners, Fields went 1-for-3 with a double and two runs scored, producing a .333 batting average and .667 slugging percentage.
The 1989 Mariners also featured a remarkable collection of talent, including Ken Griffey Jr. during his rookie season, Edgar Martinez, Jay Buhner, Harold Reynolds, Alvin Davis and Omar Vizquel. That gives Fields' 1989 Topps issue an additional connection to an important period in Seattle franchise history.
For a comprehensive Bruce Fields autograph collection, the 1989 Topps #556 makes an excellent Major League companion to his Calgary Cannons minor league issues from the same year.
