1985 Topps Appreciation:  I'm featuring a quartet of Dodgers from the 1985 Topps set with Phillies connections for this installment of 1985 Topps Appreciation.  Of the four players featured, Mariano Duncan had the most memorable tenure with the Phillies, as he was a member of the 1993 N.L. Championship squad.

It's easy to forget Pat Zachry's time with the club as the former N.L. Rookie of the Year wrapped up his 10-year career with 10 mostly forgettable games with the 1985 Phillies.  Ken Howell was supposed to lead the Phillies pitching staff in 1989 (and beyond) but arm injuries curtailed his career and he made only 51 starts for the Phillies in '89 and '90.

And Fernando-Mania briefly (and quietly) invaded Philadelphia in the strike-shortened 1994 season, when Fernando Valenzuela went 1-2 in eight games for the Phillies before moving on to the Padres for the 1995 season.
