Card Of The Week May 4
Julio Franco announced his retirement the other day. Franco played two years in Japan for the Chiba Lotte Marines - in 1995 for Bobby Valentine's first stint as manager of the Marines and again in 1998. He had cards in the 1995 BBM set (numbers 469 and 628), the 1998 BBM set (# 498), the 1998 Diamond Heroes set (# 229), the 1998 Calbee regular (# 109), Starcards (# S-26), CD card (# CD-18) and East Special (# E-16) sets as well as the 1998 Takara Marines set (he does not appear in either the 1995 Calbee or Takara Marines sets). He also appears in both the 1995 and 1998 BBM All Star sets. Here's his 1998 BBM All Star card (#A38):
