Front: Rounding the bases in spring training, but looking like he might be struck with a batted ball and ruled out.
Back: Throwback uni!
Better side: It is really hard to vote against a throwback uniform, especially considering this photo is from the 90s, but everything seems so random about the front. So, I vote for the front.
Ties to my personal collections: Spent part of the 1999 season with the Blue Jays, and was a hitting coach for the AAA Binghamton Mets.
Paragraphs in wikipedia entry: 5.
Wiki-facts: "Hollins has been named a member of the Buffalo Baseball Hall of Fame."
Google it: He was from the Buffalo area, and former Bills WR Cole Beasley used to live in his former home. Cole retired earlier this month.
How was his strike-shortened 1994?
Birthday boy: May 25, 1966. Another MLBer with a double-digit worth of seasons, Bill Haselman, was born that date. He's card #552 in this set. The NFL provides Natu Tuatagaloa. Outside the sporting world, there is former Gambian leader Yahya Jammeh, whose wiki entry is something else. It includes the phrases "went into exile" and "Witch hunting campaign".
