Card of the Day -- .261

The card of the day is 2000 Upper Deck # 348, Ricky Guttierrez.  Ricky's trifecta of batting averages of .261 caught the eye of an Upper Deck writer.





Ricky did "pick it up a notch or two", hitting .276 with 11 homers and 56 runs batted in in 2000.  He raised his average again to a career high .290 in 2001.  BTW, the Cubs finished last in the division in 2000 with only a probably juiced Sammy Sosa having a great offensive year, blasting 50 more homers, 138 batted in and a .320 average.
