Lonnie Smith Autographed 1995 Score Gold Rush #75 Baltimore Orioles Card
Featuring Lonnie Smith during the final season of his Major League career, this Lonnie Smith autographed 1995 Score Gold Rush #75 Baltimore Orioles card pairs a veteran outfielder with one of the distinctive parallels from the 1995 Score release. The Gold Rush version gives collectors an alternative to Smiths standard Score card while documenting his brief stint in Baltimore.
Smith joined the Baltimore Orioles in 1994, appearing in 94 games and batting .290 with a .389 on-base percentage. He returned to Baltimore in 1995, playing 24 games before bringing an accomplished 17-season Major League career to a close.
Speed and an ability to reach base were major parts of Smiths game. His finest individual season came with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1982, when he batted .307 with 182 hits, led the National League with 120 runs scored and stole 68 bases. Smith earned his lone All-Star selection, finished second in National League MVP voting and helped St. Louis capture the World Series championship.
Smith was part of an unusual amount of championship success during his career. He won World Series titles with the 1980 Philadelphia Phillies, 1982 St. Louis Cardinals and 1985 Kansas City Royals, becoming one of the relatively few players to win championships with three different franchises. He later helped the Atlanta Braves reach consecutive World Series in 1991 and 1992.
Over 17 Major League seasons, Smith accumulated 1,488 hits, 273 doubles, 98 home runs, 531 RBI and 370 stolen bases while batting .288. Combining the Gold Rush parallel with the final chapter of Smiths playing career, the 1995 Score Gold Rush #75 is an appealing addition for Orioles collectors, Lonnie Smith fans, Score parallel collectors, World Series-themed collections or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
