These guys all had their moments in the spotlight while in the MLB:

-Chuck Finely was a #1 or #2 for the Angels (Angels won World Series in 2002 the year Finley retired 😣

-Steve Carlton made it to the HOF (I randomly went to University with his son). Won two Word Series in ‘67 with the Cardinals and ‘80 with the Phillies.

-John Franco was a lefty closer gas thrower. While on the Mets they Lost in the 2000 World Series to their cross-city rivals

-Norm Charlton was part of ‘Natti’s Nasty Boys. Won a World Series in 1990.

-Nolan Ryan- ‘nuff said. Top 3 greatest pitcher of all time. Won the Workd Series in 1969 with the Angels.

Went through my looseys today and found a 3B montage.

My first thought for these guys

-Wade Boggs ate fried chicken before every game

-George Brett had a HR called back for too much pine tar

-Ken Caminiti was a switch hitting HR hitter who was always a threat at the plate

-Dean Palmer was either hitting dingers or striking out

One of the best cards from the 1995 Bowman’s Best set is Hall of Fame 3rd baseman Scott Rolen’s rookie card. Scott Rolen combined elite defense, consistent hitting, and no-nonsense professionalism to carve out a Hall of Fame career. His clutch postseason moments and leadership across four franchises made him a respected figure both on and off the diamond.
