Front: Rounding the bases, sporting a throwback.
Back: Swinging, also with a throwback.
Silver Sig:
Better side: I love the ever-so-slight whip on the bat on the reverse, but the front photo gives a better look at the uniform. The front by a nose.
Ties to my personal collections: None, although he was drafted by the Expos.
Paragraphs in wikipedia entry: 12
Wiki-facts: "As a result of the Expos trading Incaviglia immediately after signing him, Major League Baseball instituted a rule whereby a team cannot trade a drafted player until he has been under contract to the club for at least one calendar year. This was known as the Pete Incaviglia Rule."
Google it: "In 1999, Pete Incaviglia was voted as the NCAA Player of the Century by Baseball America."
How was his strike-shortened 1994? Hit .230 with 13 HR and 32 RBI. He'd spend 1995 in Japan before returning.
Birthday boy: April 2, 1964. A good day for Football Reference, with Lee Getz, John Brandes and Brendan Folmar matching that date, but no other sports have players there that do. Wikipedia lists former pro-wrestler "Jonathan Sharkey", whose entry includes this "He was also jailed in Tennessee for making threats against an Indiana judge. Investigators confiscated two rifles and a wooden stake with spikes at his house". Fun!
Next up: Danny Jackson
