Featuring one of the National Leagues premier hitters of the 1980s, this Pedro Guerrero autographed 1991 Studio #232 St. Louis Cardinals card comes from the inaugural Studio baseball release. The 1991 Studio set broke from the traditional action-photo format by emphasizing portrait-style photography and extensive player information, giving cards from the set a distinctive appearance.
Guerrero was in his fourth season with St. Louis in 1991 after joining the Cardinals in a 1988 trade from the Los Angeles Dodgers. At age 35, he remained a productive presence in the Cardinals lineup, batting .272 with 116 hits, 8 home runs and 70 RBI in 115 games. He spent the majority of his time at first base as St. Louis improved to 84 wins and a second-place finish in the National League East.
His finest Cardinals season came in 1989, when Guerrero batted .311 with 177 hits, a career-high 42 doubles, 17 home runs and a career-best 117 RBI. He earned an All-Star selection and finished third in National League MVP voting that season.
Before arriving in St. Louis, Guerrero established himself as a star with the Dodgers. He was a five-time MLB All-Star and shared 1981 World Series MVP honors after helping Los Angeles defeat the New York Yankees. Guerrero was especially dangerous at his peak, batting .300 or better six times during his career.
Guerrero finished his 15-year Major League career with a .300 batting average, 1,618 hits, 215 home runs and 898 RBI. The portrait-oriented 1991 Studio #232 is an appealing addition for St. Louis Cardinals collectors, Pedro Guerrero fans, Studio set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
