Shane Youman has pitched professionally since 2002. In 2006 and 2007, he pitched in the major leagues for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He is currently a pitcher for the Lotte Giants in Korea, coming off a season in which he went 13-4 with a 3.54 ERA. He kindly answered my questions about baseball cards.
"The only story I have
deals with a card of myself. The picture was taken in 2006. Not many
people know this, but it was a photo of me with a crazy look on my face as I was watching the ball sail out of the park. I remember that moment because I knew as soon as I threw the pitch, that ball would be lost.
As for a favorite card, I would have to say this old card I found of Ray Searage back in the day when he was pitching. He had that thick 'stache he still wears today, and he happens to be my favorite pitching coach.
I don't collect baseball cards, but I have a few lying around here and there."
Thanks! Here is a card of him from my collection, from 2007 Topps.
Merry Christmas
