Ricky Bones Autographed 1997 Fleer Ultra #331 Cincinnati Reds Card

Featuring Ricky Bones with the Cincinnati Reds, this Ricky Bones autographed 1997 Fleer Ultra #331 Cincinnati Reds card represents the Puerto Rican right-hander during the middle portion of his lengthy Major League career. The 1997 Fleer Ultra release features the photography-driven presentation that characterized the brand during the 1990s.

Bones began his professional career in the San Diego Padres organization and made his Major League debut in 1991 at age 22. After two seasons with San Diego, he was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers as part of the deal that sent Gary Sheffield to the Padres.

His best season came with Milwaukee in 1994, when Bones went 10-9 with a 3.43 ERA over 24 starts. That performance earned him his lone American League All-Star selection, representing the Brewers at the Midsummer Classic in Pittsburgh.

Bones later pitched for the New York Yankees before joining the Cincinnati Reds during the 1996 season. He appeared in 53 games for Cincinnati across the 1996 and 1997 seasons, working primarily out of the bullpen during his Reds tenure.

Bones ultimately pitched parts of 11 Major League seasons, appearing in 375 games with 101 starts for the Padres, Brewers, Yankees, Reds, Royals, Orioles and Marlins. The 1997 Fleer Ultra #331 is an appealing addition for Cincinnati Reds collectors, Ricky Bones fans, Puerto Rican baseball collections, Fleer Ultra set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
