Jarrod Washburn played twelve seasons in the major leagues for the Angels, Mariners and Tigers. His best season was 2002, when he went 18-6 with a 3.15 ERA, helping the Angels to a world championship. Overall in 312 games, he went 107-109 with a 4.10 ERA. Now the owner of Major League Bucks and Clam River Whitetails in Webster, WI, he kindly answered my questions about baseball cards.
"I used to collect as a kid. I think I ended up with around 20,000 of them. I stopped collecting them as I got older but did try to collect at least 1 of each of the ones made that were of me. I don't necessarily have a favorite one of myself. A lot of them I like. My favorite of the collection from when I was younger is probably the Don Mattingly rookie card. He was my favorite player growing up so always really loved that card."
Thanks!
I always enjoyed watching him pitch.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing him pitch against the Mariners quite a bit; often successfully.
