Joel Estes pitched in the Astros and Giants organizations from 1986 to 1990. In 216 games he went 21-24 with 24 saves and a 2.60 ERA. Now a financial advisor at
Wells Fargo in Tucson, AZ, he kindly shared this baseball card story.
"My
favorite card is with the Columbus Mudcats. As a pitcher, I used to
hit thousands of fungoes to the infielders during batting practice. So
in my card, I
took the fungo, blacked out the GO, so it said “FUN” and got my picture
taken with it. It might be the only baseball card ever with someone
holding a fungo."
Thanks! I don't have that card, but I do have this one from his time with the San Jose Giants.
