“ One of the best Best fronts. ” -Sportzcommish

“ Best Autograph series? I do not think that is one of the best autographs! ” -Tscastle

“ Back when the name of an animal was accepted by the society... ” -TwinKiller

Would have been nice if they'd put a bit more effort into the back. The front isn't bad.

This is actually one of my favorite cards - and is an excellent example of why I love minor leagues cards.

John appeared in a single MLB game for the Braves in 1997 where he pitched 2 innings, struck out 3, gave up no runs and earned the win. So his career winning in the majors is 1.000.

He last pitched in the affiliated minors in 2000 and then joined Sioux City (independent) in 2001. He tragically passed away during the season from a brain aneurysm. He was 26.

While this card might not be the most visually appealing, it’s the only certified autograph for John that was ever issued.
