I have two cards of Jim Austin. This one is from 1992 Classic Best.
Playing career: Jim Austin was an outfielder in the Expos
organization from 1991 to 1993. His best season was 1991, when he hit .326 with
8 HR and 52 RBI in 71 games for Jamestown.
Where he is now: Owner of Austin Electric in Mission Viejo,
CA.
My memories: Only know him from his cards.
Google Autocomplete results: He is first when you type Jim
Au, ahead of Jim Aubrey, a 1960s TV executive. You don’t get any results for
the former Expos prospect on the first page of googling Jim Austin; you do get
a pro fisherman, a photographer, and former Brewers pitcher James “Jim” Austin,
among others.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Pat Austin.
