Featuring Dave Martinez during his final season with Montreal, this Dave Martinez autographed 1991 Upper Deck #186 Montreal Expos card captures the versatile outfielder during the latter portion of his Expos tenure. Upper Decks 1991 release continued the companys emphasis on crisp photography and polished presentation, with the set becoming known for its strong use of action and candid baseball imagery.
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, bringing a combination of contact hitting, speed and the ability to play all three outfield positions.
One of Martinezs strongest 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. He returned in 1991 to appear in 133 games and collect 119 hits during his final season with Montreal.
Martinez continued his career with Cincinnati in 1992 and ultimately played 16 Major League seasons. He finished with 1,599 hits, 91 home runs, 580 RBI, 183 stolen bases and a .276 batting average while appearing for nine different franchises.
His lengthy career in professional baseball eventually brought championship success from the dugout. Martinez served as bench coach for the 2016 World Series champion Chicago Cubs and later became manager of the Washington Nationals, guiding the franchise to its first World Series championship in 2019. The 1991 Upper Deck #186 is an appealing addition for Expos collectors, Dave Martinez fans, Upper Deck set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
