Pitched for the Brewers in the late '80s without much success, but did very well for Tidewater at the AAA level later. Came up to the Mets in 1995 and pitched extremely well; instead of sending him back to the minor leagues, though, the Mets sent him to Japan, where he finished up his career. Pictured here is an autographed card from the Signature Rookies Old Judge subset.
