Ricky Jordan Autographed 1989 Upper Deck #35 Philadelphia Phillies Card

Featuring Ricky Jordan with the Philadelphia Phillies, this Ricky Jordan autographed 1989 Upper Deck #35 Philadelphia Phillies card comes from Upper Deck's landmark inaugural baseball release and captures the first baseman early in his Major League career. Jordan developed into a productive right-handed hitter for Philadelphia and spent the overwhelming majority of his nine-season career with the Phillies.

The Phillies selected Jordan in the first round of the 1983 MLB Draft, 22nd overall, out of Grant High School in California. He made his Major League debut on July 17, 1988, and made an immediate impression by homering in his first Major League at-bat.

Jordan continued his strong start during his first full season in 1989, batting .285 with 144 hits, 22 doubles, 12 home runs and 75 RBI in 145 games. He established himself as Philadelphia's regular first baseman and finished seventh in National League Rookie of the Year voting.

Jordan remained a productive member of the Phillies lineup into the early 1990s. In 1990, he batted .296 with 12 home runs and 73 RBI, and in 1991 he set a career high with 16 home runs while driving in 69 runs.

Jordan played eight of his nine Major League seasons with Philadelphia before finishing his career with the Seattle Mariners in 1996. The 1989 Upper Deck #35 is an appealing early-career card for Phillies collectors, Ricky Jordan fans, inaugural Upper Deck set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
