2005 Upper Deck Past Time Pennants #34
The 2005 Upper Deck Past Time Pennant set featured 90 cards of baseball's legendary players. The picture features Brett with another Royals presumably in the on-deck circle. Based on the 25th Anniversary patch on the uniform, this picture is from 1993. You can make out the #34 on the back of the batting helmet so this has to Felix Jose, who came over from the St. Louis Cardinals in a trade for Gregg Jeffries prior to the 1993 season.
The back of the card refers to Brett's role during the 1985 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. This series still brings bad memories to Cardinals fans for Don Denkinger's missed call at first base in Game 6. The card lists Brett's five best seasons and his career totals. Three of those five seasons resulted in him winning a batting title (1976, 1980, and 1990) and made him the only player to win a batting title in 3 different decades.
