I know that you already knew this, but Jeff Bagwell was a really good baseball player.
When I think Jeff Bagwell the only team that I think of is the Astro’s, so its always weird to remember that he was actually drafted by the Red Sox in the 4th round of the 1989 draft. Less than a year later he was traded to Houston for Larry Anderson.
Bagwell would make the majors a season later, hit .294/.387/.437 with 15 HR and winning the NL ROY. He never really looked back from there:
-
- 15 seasons in the majors
- 4 x All-Star selections, which seems a little low?
- 3 x Silver Sluggers
- 1 x Gold Glove
- 1994 NL MVP
- 449 career HR
And of course, he was selected to the Hall of Fame in 2017.
Great career. And this is a great card. I have tried to get it roughly a dozen times since its been released and was finally able to get one for a good price. Really happy to add this card to my collection.
