Evan Crawford on baseball cards

Evan Crawford pitched seven seasons of professional baseball, mostly in the Blue Jays organization. He pitched in ten games for the Blue Jays in 2012, going 0-0 with a 6.75 ERA. In 194 minor league games he went 11-24 with a 4.10 ERA. Now an Associate Broker at eXp Realty in Opelika, AL, he kindly answered my questions about baseball cards.

"My most common story regarding my baseball card is that I was most often handed the outfielder "Evan Crawford" from the Chicago Cubs organization's card to sign maybe more often than my own. Clearly, he was the more exciting Evan Crawford of the 2. I actually have a signed card of the Chicago Cubs Evan Crawford on my desk as I write this response. Ha. I actually got to face him a couple of times in the Minor Leagues. Fun times. His card has him with a helmet on and batting, and people would still stop me as I was walking out of the bullpen to sign the card....clearly not a hitter, ha. The most amazing part of this, is that the Chicago Cubs Evan Crawford has almost the exact same signature as me. Our handwriting and letters look exactly the same! I definitely could have gotten away with signing his card!  

I only produced one Topps card, so that is most likely my favorite. 

 

However, I did have one with the Lansing Lugnuts where I had some pretty good handle bar mustache that I enjoyed getting on a card. 

I do not actively collect them, however my son is starting to enjoy that hobby a little and its fun to see him get cards of guys I played with."

Thanks!
