1987 Spokane Indians at the Mall - Mike Myers

Not to be confused with another Mike Myers who had a long pitching career, this Mike Myers pitched in the Padres organization in 1987 and 1988 and the Reds organization in 1989. In 104 games he went 36-21 with a 3.05 ERA. Despite these solid numbers he never pitched in affiliated ball again - he spent 1990 in the independent California League where he struggled. Perhaps some kind of injury?

I can't tell which store he is in, though it appears to be a large one. In the "Gifts for Dads" section we see what is probably the only cigar-smoking ape to ever appear on a baseball card.
