| 1988 Topps Traded #39T |
1988 Topps Appreciation: It's hard for me to recall anything in particular from Ron Gant's time with the Phillies. He was one of those veteran guys that came along when the team was struggling, filled a need for a short time and then moved along. The Phils acquired Gant along withJeff Brantley and Clif Politte from the Cardinals for Ricky Bottalico and Garrett Stephenson. In his season and a half with the Phillies, Gant hit .257 in 227 games while hitting 37 home runs and driving in 115. Honestly, that's not a bad showing and I'm surprised at myself for not having any real memory of his time with the club.
Right before the non-waiver trade deadline at the end of July 2000, he was shipped to the Angels for Kent Bottenfield. Gant of course came up with the Braves, and this is his first Topps card (or his "XRC" according to Beckett).
