Ted Power

Who: Pitcher Ted Power

Team: Cincinnati Reds

Card: 1988 Donruss

Acquired: 2007 Redsfest, in person

Comments: Ted Power has been with the Reds organization for quite some time. The past few years he has served as a pitching coach at several different levels in the Reds' farm system. In 2008 he was with the Louisville Bats, the Reds AAA affiliate. Ted is also a regular at Redsfest and a great signer. I have at least another card signed by him along with some ticket stubs and stuff like that. Really nice guy and seems to truly enjoy interacting with the fans.

Now, about the card. Nice photo, but I always hated the Donruss designs in the late '80s. They were a little rough. But, for some reason I have a ton of them. Where packs of Donruss little cheaper than Topps back then? I must have bought them for some reason.
