Featuring Jim Eisenreich with the Florida Marlins, this Jim Eisenreich autographed 1997 Fleer Ultra #367 Florida Marlins card represents the veteran outfielder during the season in which he helped Florida capture the first World Series championship in franchise history.
Eisenreich began his Major League career with the Minnesota Twins in 1982 before stepping away from baseball while dealing with what was eventually diagnosed as Tourette syndrome. He made a successful return to the majors with the Kansas City Royals in 1987 and developed into a productive hitter and versatile outfielder.
After six seasons with Kansas City, Eisenreich joined the Philadelphia Phillies in 1993 and immediately became part of their National League championship club. He batted .318 during the regular season and appeared in all six games of the 1993 World Series against Toronto. Eisenreich remained a productive member of the Phillies through 1996, batting .324 in his final season in Philadelphia.
Eisenreich signed with the Florida Marlins for 1997 and provided an experienced left-handed bat for another pennant-winning club. He appeared in 120 regular-season games and then contributed throughout Florida's postseason run. In the World Series against Cleveland, Eisenreich hit a three-run home run in Game 3 as the Marlins went on to win the series in seven games for the franchise's first championship.
Over a 15-season Major League career, Eisenreich collected 1,160 hits while batting .290 for the Twins, Royals, Phillies, Marlins and Dodgers. The 1997 Fleer Ultra #367 is an appealing championship-season issue for Florida Marlins collectors, Jim Eisenreich fans, 1997 World Series collections, Fleer Ultra set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
