1986 Spokane Indians at the Mall - Brian Harrison

  

I can't tell what store he is in, but it's kind of funny he's just standing at the check-out counter while people make purchases behind him. There is a big red display and the price tags are red. Something (jewelry?) is on sale for $2.99 next to him.

Brian Harrison pitched in the Padres organization from 1987 to 1990. After a breakout year in 1990, when he went 5-2 with 18 saves and a 1.19 ERA at Class-A Riverside, he was a Rule V pick by the White Sox and pitched for the major league team in 1991 spring training. Unfortunately injuries kept him out of baseball from 1991-1993, but he did stage a comeback in 1994 and 1995 with San Bernardino and Memphis. Overall he pitched in 221 minor league games, going 26-24 with 37 saves and a 3.83 ERA. After his career he was a youth coach in San Diego. In 2017 he answered my questions about baseball cards. He passed away in 2019.
