1982 Topps Traded #41T

1982 Topps #53

1982 Topps Appreciation:  Greg Harris and Greg Gross were teammates on the 1988 Phillies team that lost 96 games and finished in the basement of the N.L. East.

Back in 1982, Harris was just getting started on his 15-year major league career.  In February, he was traded from the Mets with Jim Kern and Alex Trevino for slugger George Foster.  He'd appear in 34 games with the Reds (10 starts), compiling a 4.83 ERA and a 2-6 record.  Harris bounced around quite a bit during his career, appearing in 110 games with the Phillies during the 1988 and 1989 seasons.

Gross had another productive season in 1982 for the Phillies, hitting .299 and appearing in 119 games at all three outfield positions.
