I have 20 cards of James Baldwin. This one is from 1995 Topps.
Playing career: James Baldwin was a starting pitcher for the
White Sox, Dodgers and Mariners from 1995 to 2002, then spent three years as a
reliever for four teams. His best season was 2000, when he helped the White Sox
win the AL Central by going 14-7 with a 4.65 ERA.
My memories: I remembered him as the ace of the White Sox
staff in the nineties. I was surprised at just how bad his numbers were – in
184 games with Chicago, he had a 5.04 ERA.
Where he is now: Pitching coach at Pinecrest High School in
North Carolina.
Interesting facts: His son James Baldwin III is an
outfielder in the Dodgers organization, ranked as their number nine prospect.
Google Autocomplete results: He is tenth when you type James
B, behind James Blake, a tennis player. There are no references to the baseball
player on the first page when you google James Baldwin. All of them refer to
the author.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Jeff Baldwin.
Not sure how to contact you otherwise, but saw your entry on Noe Munoz from 2011. I was wondering if you'd share the address you used to contact him (if it is still good) or better yet, is your card for trade/sale, as I don't have the card to send him for a signature.
