kip gross was part of the november 1991 trade between the reds and dodgers that also included eric davis, john wetteland, and tim belcher.  here is his 1992 o-pee-chee card:

here's the topps front:

now the o-pee-chee back:

and the topps back:

with gross on staff, the dodgers had themselves a pair of gross pitchers (kevin gross - no relation - being the other). is that a gross of gross?  at any rate, kip went 1-1 in 16 games for the dodgers, with one start.  that start resulted in his lone win of the season as he held the expos to 3 runs in 6 innings.  gross was in the dodgers' bullpen again in 1993, and had an era of 0.60 in 10 appearances and 15 innings pitched.  his contract was purchased by the nippon ham fighters during the 1994 season, and gross pitched in japan until returing to the big leagues in 1999.
