1985 Topps Appreciation:  On July 24, 1986, the Phillies traded Tom Foley and Lary Sorensen to the Montreal Expos for Dan Schatzeder and Skeeter Barnes.  The true tragedy of this deal is that Barnes never got a chance to play for the Phillies, finishing out his 1986 season with the Portland Beavers.  He became a free agent following the season, signing with the Cardinals and ending any hope of the Phillies franchise having two Skeeter's in its all-time player roster.

The other Skeeter, of course, being Skeeter Newsome, who played parts of two seasons with the Phillies in 1946 and 1947.
