Featuring Dave Martinez during his final season with Montreal, this Dave Martinez autographed 1991 Topps #24 Montreal Expos card captures the versatile outfielder during the latter portion of his Expos tenure. The card comes from Topps 40th Anniversary baseball release, with the 1991 set carrying a special anniversary logo commemorating four decades of Topps baseball cards.
Martinez joined the Montreal Expos in July 1988 after beginning his Major League career with the Chicago Cubs. He became a regular in Montreals outfield, providing contact hitting, speed and the defensive versatility to play all three outfield positions.
One of Martinezs most productive seasons came in 1990, when he batted .279 with career highs of 147 hits and 60 RBI while adding 23 doubles, 11 home runs and 17 stolen bases. In 1991, Martinez appeared in 133 games for Montreal and collected 119 hits during his final season with the organization.
After leaving Montreal, Martinez joined the Cincinnati Reds and continued a Major League career that ultimately spanned 16 seasons. He finished his playing days with 1,599 hits, 91 home runs, 580 RBI, 183 stolen bases and a .276 batting average while appearing for nine different franchises.
Martinez later enjoyed championship success from the dugout, serving as bench coach for the 2016 World Series champion Chicago Cubs before becoming manager of the Washington Nationals and guiding the franchise to its first World Series championship in 2019. Combining the Topps flagship brand and its 40th Anniversary design with Martinezs Expos tenure, the 1991 Topps #24 is an appealing addition for Montreal collectors, Dave Martinez fans, Topps set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
