148 - Gregg Jefferies
Front: Sliding
Back: Running.
Better side: I do like the horizontal photo with the arms outstretched to the side, but the running photo is the perfect mix of intense with a hint of derpiness. The back pulls out a surprise nod.
Ties to my personal collections: Former Met at this point in his career.
Paragraphs in wikipedia entry: 21
Wiki-facts: "In 2020, he told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he was "absolutely not" content with what he accomplished in his career."
Google it: If you had about 2.5 million in your couch cushions, you could have bought his former home in New Jersey last year.
How was his strike-shortened 1994? Went .325 with 12 HR and 55 RBI. Earned an All-Star appearance for the second straight year.
Birthday boy: August 1, 1967. Former NHLer Dan Vincelette was also born 8/1/67. Despite almost 200 NHL games, he'd never get a card in a major release. Wikipedia lists film director José Padilha as an August 1st 1967 baby as well.
