140 - Chris Hoiles

 

140 - Chris Hoiles

Front: In full catcher's gear for a very Panini-friendly photo.

Back: Even friendlier, with even less of the logo visible.

Better side: A draw. Neither really wows.

Ties to my personal collections: None.

Paragraphs in wikipedia entry: 12

Wiki-facts:  He was inducted into the Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame in 2006.

Google it: It suggests "Chris Hoiles grand slam", which shows you a walk-off grand slam that allowed Baltimore to overcome a 13-10 deficit against Seattle. 

How was his strike-shortened 1994? 19 HR, 53 RBI while batting .247.

Birthday boy:  March 20, 1965. Nobody in the *-reference world was born that date, but wikipedia does list Scottish historian William Dalrymple. That name just sounds like a historian's name.

Next up: 140 - Dave Hollins
