Featuring Darrin Fletcher with the Montreal Expos, this Darrin Fletcher autographed 1997 Upper Deck #426 Montreal Expos card showcases the veteran catcher during his fourth season with the organization.
Fletcher was selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the sixth round of the 1987 MLB Draft and made his Major League debut with the club in 1989. After spending time with the Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies, he joined Montreal for the 1994 season and became the Expos' primary catcher.
Fletcher was behind the plate for the memorable 1994 Expos team that compiled a Major League-best 74-40 record before the players' strike brought the season to an early end. He enjoyed his best season in Montreal in 1995, batting .286 with 12 home runs and 57 RBI while earning the only National League All-Star selection of his career.
In 1997, Fletcher appeared in 120 games for Montreal and established a career high with 18 home runs while driving in 55 runs. It was his fourth and final season with the Expos before joining the Toronto Blue Jays, where he continued as a productive everyday catcher.
Fletcher played 14 Major League seasons, collecting 1,048 hits, 124 home runs and 583 RBI while appearing in more than 1,200 games. The 1997 Upper Deck #426 is an appealing addition for Montreal Expos collectors, Darrin Fletcher fans, 1990s baseball collections or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
