Thad Bosley Autographed 1985 Donruss #388 Chicago Cubs Card
Featuring one of Chicagos valuable bench players from the mid-1980s, this Thad Bosley autographed 1985 Donruss #388 Chicago Cubs card comes from the distinctive 1985 Donruss baseball release. The set is immediately recognizable for its black borders accented by red striping, a design that has become closely associated with the era.
Bosley joined the Chicago Cubs in 1983 and developed into an effective pinch hitter and reserve outfielder. He was part of the memorable 1984 Cubs team that won 96 games, captured the National League East title and reached the postseason for the first time since 1945.
During that championship season, Bosley appeared in 74 games and batted .301, giving manager Jim Frey a productive left-handed option off the bench. He also appeared in the 1984 National League Championship Series against the San Diego Padres.
Bosley remained with Chicago through 1986 and returned to the Cubs again in 1989 and 1990. Over a 14-year Major League career, he played for the Angels, White Sox, Athletics, Cubs, Royals and Rangers, earning much of his reputation as a versatile reserve and pinch-hitting specialist.
With its classic mid-1980s Donruss design and connection to a member of Chicagos memorable 1984 division championship club, the 1985 Donruss #388 is an appealing addition for Cubs collectors, Thad Bosley fans, Donruss set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
Autograph Provenance: This autographed card was acquired from a collector.
