The second round pick of the Texas Rangers in 1992, Ritchie Moody pitched six seasons in the team's minor league system. In 101 games (12 starts), he went 6-16 with 30 saves and a 3.91 ERA. Now the owner of a real estate investment company in Dayton, OH, he kindly answered my questions about baseball cards.
"I think hearing Billy Ripken telling us about the f face card. I did the next year a card with a catchers mitt on. All in good humor of course. I think it was my AAA card."
Thanks! I don't have that card, but here is one from my collection.
Nice to see him doing okay after baseball.
ReplyDeleteI'm so dense that I wouldn't even have noticed him holding a catcher's mitt had it not been pointed out to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jon... I never would have caught that without someone pointing it out. But it's cool that players do stuff like this. Turns a common into something a collector can write a blog post about.
