I have three cards of Gregor Blanco. This one is from 2008 Stadium Club First Day.
Playing career: Outfielder Gregor Blanco came up with the
Braves in 2008, and also played briefly for the Royals before becoming a
regular outfielder on the Giants in their 2012 World Championship year. Though
he did not have a great regular season, hitting just .244 with 5 HR and 34 RBI,
he had a great postseason, with five extra-base hits and a couple of great
World Series defensive plays.
Where he is now: This year in 51 games for the Giants, he is hitting .242 with 0 HR and 13 RBI. Yesterday he was 0-4 in a loss to Washington.
Interesting facts: He has his own blog at MLB.com, where
among other things he describes being kidnapped in his native Venezuela at the
age of 16.
My memories: Only know him from his card.
Google Autocomplete results: He is tenth when you type
Gregor , after Gregor Gracie, an MMA fighter. There do not appear to be any
other prominent Gregor Blancos.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Henry Blanco.
