Featuring Kevin Bass with the Houston Astros, this Kevin Bass autographed 1985 Fleer #345 Houston Astros card is an early Houston issue of the switch-hitting outfielder who became an important part of the Astros lineup during the 1980s.
Bass began his Major League career with the Milwaukee Brewers in 1982 before being traded to Houston as part of the deal that sent Don Sutton to Milwaukee. He appeared in 16 games for the Astros late in 1982 and gradually developed into a regular in the Houston outfield.
By 1984, Bass had established himself as an everyday player, appearing in 150 games while collecting 129 hits, 17 doubles, 16 home runs and 68 RBI. His combination of power, speed and defensive versatility helped make him a valuable part of Houston's lineup throughout the middle of the decade.
Bass enjoyed his finest season in 1986, batting .311 with 184 hits, 33 doubles, 20 home runs, 79 RBI and 22 stolen bases. He earned his only career All-Star selection and helped Houston win the National League West before facing the New York Mets in the memorable 1986 NL Championship Series.
Bass played 14 Major League seasons, including two separate stints with Houston, and finished with more than 1,300 hits, 100 home runs and 150 stolen bases. The 1985 Fleer #345 is an appealing addition for Astros collectors, Kevin Bass fans, 1985 Fleer set collectors, 1986 Astros collections or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
