Ramon Hernandez was sure-gloved catcher with a decent arm. On occasion, he could jack one out of the park. In 2013, his last year in the majors though, he just ran out of gas. He could barely run out those ground balls, apparently.
Hernandez grounded into six double plays in 55 plate appearances while batting .208. He did belt three homers while stealing one base for the Dodgers.

Count them. There are thirteen 24s on his card. There are so many that APBA was forced to give him some weird number combos like 32-24, 52-24 and 14-13.
I almost featured this card on Weird Wednesday. In addition to the 24s, Ramon has a 15-10 despite being slow.
Hernandez ended up with 169 career homers (and 757 rbis!) which really isn’t bad for someone who never hit more than 23 in a season.
thanks to Rod Woodward for the suggestion!!
This is more worthy of a Weird Wed card than a Terrible Tuesday lineup-wrecker. The 24s are a killer in DP situations, but there are enough good rolls to have some value here: a C-8 with a 1-5-5, more 8s (2) than 9s (1) and a respectable number of 14s. Great two-out-runners-on pinch-hitter, and a useful defensive replacement for a team with a Ted Simmons type as a starter.
Yeah, it was a tossup between WCW and TCT. The 24s did it for me.
I actually thought it was a Wednesday card at first. While the power numbers are great I could never bring myself to start this guy other than an injury or ejection.
My god, FOUR 24s 56-63. And I thought my 2008 Jack Cust with three 13s in a row was bad
