Featuring Kirt Manwaring with the Colorado Rockies, this Kirt Manwaring autographed 1997 Fleer Ultra #413 Colorado Rockies card showcases the veteran catcher during the final portion of his Major League career.
The San Francisco Giants selected Manwaring in the second round of the 1986 MLB Draft out of Coastal Carolina University, and he made his Major League debut in 1987. He developed into a dependable defensive catcher, earning the trust of the Giants pitching staff and eventually becoming the club's primary catcher.
Manwaring enjoyed one of his finest seasons in 1993, appearing in 116 games while helping San Francisco compile a remarkable 103-59 record. His defensive performance earned him the National League Gold Glove Award, recognizing him as the league's top defensive catcher.
He remained an important part of the Giants roster throughout the early 1990s before joining the Colorado Rockies during the 1996 season. Manwaring provided veteran experience behind the plate for a Colorado club that featured an exciting lineup of established stars and emerging talent.
During the 1997 season, Manwaring appeared in 67 games for Colorado, contributing as a reserve catcher while working with the Rockies pitching staff. He completed his Major League playing career following that season.
Over 11 Major League seasons, Manwaring appeared in 727 games, collecting 453 hits while establishing himself as a respected defensive catcher. The 1997 Fleer Ultra #413 is an appealing addition for Colorado Rockies collectors, Kirt Manwaring fans, Gold Glove Award winner collections, 1990s Fleer Ultra enthusiasts or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
