Featuring one of the most popular Philadelphia Phillies players of the early 1990s, this John Kruk autographed 1992 Pinnacle #147 Philadelphia Phillies card comes from the inaugural Pinnacle baseball release. Introduced by Score in 1992 as a higher-end brand, Pinnacle featured a distinctive black-bordered design and photography that gave the set a dramatically different appearance from many other releases of the era.
Kruk was firmly established as one of Philadelphias best hitters when this card was issued. In 1992, he batted .323 with 144 hits, 31 doubles, 10 home runs and 70 RBI, while posting a .423 on-base percentage. His performance earned him his second consecutive National League All-Star selection.
The following season, Kruk became one of the central figures on the memorable 1993 Phillies National League championship team. He batted .316 with a .430 on-base percentage, scored 100 runs and earned his third consecutive All-Star selection as Philadelphia went from last place the previous season to the World Series.
Known as much for his unmistakable personality as his ability at the plate, Kruk was an exceptionally disciplined hitter. He spent six-plus seasons with Philadelphia and finished his 10-year Major League career with a .300 batting average, 1,170 hits, 100 home runs, 592 RBI and a .397 on-base percentage.
Combining Kruks Phillies tenure with the distinctive inaugural Pinnacle release, the 1992 Pinnacle #147 is an appealing addition for Philadelphia Phillies collectors, John Kruk fans, 1993 Phillies collections, Pinnacle set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
