Who knew Edgar Renteria was a Twin in 1996?

Not that we couldn't have used him in 1996, with his .309/.358/.399/ for a .757 OPS, 3.3 WAR. and .979 fielding %...but who knew Edgar played for us?

I made a trade with @SouthPawKersh22 for Twins, and ex-Twins to even the trade. I was surprised to see this one among them. I have a pretty good photographic memory of Twins rosters, and didn't remember him playing for us. Obviously a printing error, but by now you would think Topps would have a way of pulling detailed stats reliably. They've only been doing this for 60+ years, and this is the digital age. Hell, I'll help them install a LAMP setup, with web/php queries if needed...
