Your Mom Dresses You Funny - Part 1

This four-part theme is dedicated to cards for which the jersey pictured does not match the team mentioned on the card. There are two main variations: one team mentioned and two teams mentioned (as in, "traded to X").

Many of you team collectors perhaps don't count these in your collective collecting quests. Well I do. Reds jersey... I want it. Reds team logo... I want it. Reds team name... I want it. Non-intrusive "Traded to the Reds"/"Now with Reds" text... I want it. In other words, I'm a bona fide Reds slut. And don't even act like any of you can cast a judgmental stone.

Part 1 will be the AL Central and AL East. Let's go.

Traded by the Indians to the Reds with Gordy Coleman and Billy Martin for Johnny Temple in 1959.

Traded by the Indians to the Reds in 1991 for Jack Armstrong, Scott Scudder, and Joe Turek.

Signed to the Reds as a free agent in 1994. Previously with the Indians.

Reds logo on the back, though drafted by the Reds and was definitely signed with the Twins in mid-2006, well before this card was printed. Not sure at all why there's a Reds logo on the back, other than oversight.
