145 - Danny Jackson

 Front - Almost flat on the ground after the delivery. Which was his style

Back - Generic pitching photo

Silver sig - 

Better side: The first one really shows Jackson's methodology of pitching. This one was easy!

Ties to my personal collections: None

Paragraphs in wikipedia entry: 6

Wiki-facts: "pitched, as of 2021, the only immaculate inning in World Series play"

Google it:  Watch said inning! 

How was his strike-shortened 1994? Went 14-6 with an ERA of 3.26, made the All-Star team.

Birthday boy:  January 5, 1962. Butch Graves, who played in 4 games for the Cavaliers in 84-85, was born on that date, but that's all the *-reference world has. Actress Suzy Amis Cameron (Titanic, The Usual Suspects) accompanies Danny on the wikipedia list of people born that day.

Next up: 146 - John Jaha

144 - Pete Incaviglia

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!
