The 1989 Donruss Baseball's Best set is a 336-card factory-set exclusive that offered collectors a premium companion to the flagship Donruss release. Featuring the same basic design with distinctive green and yellow borders, the cards include career highlights on the reverse and showcase many of baseball's brightest young stars and established veterans. The set is especially notable for featuring the only Major League licensed Sammy Sosa card issued in 1989, along with early cards of Ken Griffey Jr., Randy Johnson, and Tom Gordon. Gordon appears as card #287 with the Kansas City Royals.

Tom Gordon enjoyed an outstanding 21-year Major League career with the Kansas City Royals, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Houston Astros, Chicago White Sox, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies, and Arizona Diamondbacks. Nicknamed "Flash," Gordon successfully reinvented himself from a frontline starting pitcher into one of baseball's premier closers. A three-time All-Star, 1998 American League Rolaids Relief Man Award winner, and owner of 138 career victories, 158 saves, and 1,928 strikeouts, Gordon became one of only three pitchers in Major League history to record at least 100 wins, 100 saves, and 1,900 strikeouts.

Issued during Gordon's rookie season, this 1989 Donruss Baseball's Best card captures one of baseball's top young pitching prospects as he was beginning an exceptional Major League career. Personally signed by Tom Gordon, it is an outstanding collectible for Royals fans, Donruss collectors, rookie-era collectors, and autograph enthusiasts.
