I have one card of John Barnes, from 1998 Topps.
Playing career: John Barnes played 20 games in the outfield
for the Twins in 2000 and 2001. After that, he played four years at AAA for
four different organizations. In an attempt to return to the major leagues, he
reinvented himself as a knuckleball pitcher, and reached AAA in the Red Sox
organization in 2006 and 2007.
Where he is now: He has a full-time job as a sales
representative at Rotech Healthcare, but is also the Co-Director of The HittingZone in Spokane, WA as well as a coach for the Spokane Dodgers 15U team.
My memories: Only know him from his card.
Google Autocomplete results: He is first when you type John
Barn, ahead of John Barnett, a nineteenth century English composer. There are
no results for the baseball player on the first page of results for John
Barnes; most refer to an English soccer star.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Jon Barnes.
