Why This Card Matters

Ernie Whitt was an **original Blue Jay**, taken from Boston in the November 1976 expansion draft, and he was **the last original still on the roster** when he finally left after 1989. He caught **1,159 games for Toronto, still the most by any catcher in franchise history**, and hit double-digit home runs in **eight straight seasons from 1982 to 1989**. His one All-Star selection came in **1985**, the year Toronto won its first AL East title. He has since managed Canada's national team since 1999 — the only manager to lead a country through **all six World Baseball Classics**. This is his card in the 1988 Donruss base set, #394.

Set & Parallel Note

1988 Donruss is the blue-black-and-red striped-border design, a 660-card base set. This is the **base** card — no gold foil border, no "Baseball's Best" branding. **Not serial numbered**; the era predates it. **Not a short print** — #1-660 with no SP tier. The back carries **no CODE# line**, and the copyright reads **© 1987 Leaf, Inc.**, which is normal for 1988 Donruss. The back gives his full name as **Leo Ernest Whitt**.
