Year: 1994

Set: Upper Deck All-Time Heroes - 125th Anniversary (Rate)

Card: #139 Manny Mota


“ To me he was the Dodgers hitting coach, and roving ambassador to the fans. He seemed to be a guy who would bleed Dodger blue, just like Lasorda. ” -abide

“ I have nothing to complain about scan wise :). Although I remember actually while scanning this card thinking why would Upper Deck use a photo (a cool photo) of a guy who played 6 years for the Pirates, and 11 years for the Dodgers, and make a card of him on a team that he played 31 games for? They apparently could not even find a head shot of him in an Expos cap for the insert photo. ” -rmpaq5

“ Cool concept but terrible picture. ” -cjjt

“ Nice commemorative card. ” -captkirk42

“ I've got to concentrate... concentrate... concentrate... Hello?... hello... hello... Echo... echo... echo... Pinch hitting for Pedro Borbon... Manny Mota... Mota... Mota... ” -tenlbpain

“ Never heard of this set and despite the low rating by some users, I like it! Mulling over a box, but a bit spendy! ” -bkklaos

“ Very cool ” -pugchump

“ This is a very interesting card. It reminds me of some older cards with the player head. But also has a really nice photo on the player head. You can never go wrong with all-time hero's cards. ” -cardcollector65jw

“ Colored pictures of Expos are awesome, so I have to take points away for the black and white. ” -muskie027

Manny Mota, the great pinch hitter extraordinaire! I got his autograph once before a Dodger game and was amazed how strong and wiry his hands and forearms were for a a relatively small guy.
