1985 Topps #454

1985 Topps Appreciation:  There are going to be a few of these posts throughout the season featuring 1985 Topps cards of players with no real connection to the Phillies opponent.  This is the first of these posts as I didn't otherwise have a natural spot to fit in Glenn Wilson's 1985 Topps card.

Phillies Room favorite Wilson had his best season in 1985, making his sole All-Star team and finishing the season with 102 RBIs.  His numbers would gradually dip over the next five seasons and his last year as an everyday player came in 1990 with the Astros.  Wilson would play briefly in the Braves system in 1991 and it appears as if he was completely out of baseball in 1992.  In 1993, he made a temporary comeback appearing in 10 games with the Pirates before hanging up his spikes.
