If you were here for the first installment of this series, welcome back. You must have enjoyed part one enough to return, so thanks! Page two of the Frankenset features card numbers 10 to 18. There are some great candidates:
- A guy with the first name Debs (named after early 20th Century American Socialist Eugene Debs),
- Nick Esasky not only with the Braves but with a mysterious mustache, and...

| 1990 Donruss Best NL #13, Nick Esasky |
- David Cone looking like anything but a pitcher batting left-handed for the Mets.

| 1992 Stadium Club #17, David Cone |
But when a card checks two Frankenset boxes, it becomes hard to beat. In this case, a picture of a guy bunting that makes you say "Why him?" and a wad of chew visible from the upper deck. I present to you another 1990 Donruss Best card, this one from the American League:

| 1990 Donruss Best AL #15, Mickey Tettleton |
It is bewildering to me that you would ask Mickey Tettleton to bunt. Hopefully, he was just showing bunt. Perhaps only Frank Robinson knows (God rest his soul, as he passed in February of last year). Not sure about the technique displayed by ol' Fruit Loops either (apparently his nickname). Looks like his hand would get crushed. In any event, Tettleton is indeed in the bunt position, but you may have been distracted by this fact by the wad in Tettleton's left cheek. This card is just too much for me to handle. And it isn't the first time our Orange bird slugger appeared to be eating a golf ball on a baseball card.

In any event, this page goes to the Mickster.
