1989 Topps Big Cartoon Deep Dive: Rex Hudler

I miss the days of picturesque spring training shots.

Hudler was an All-American wide receiver at Bullard High in California.

He toured several colleges, including getting a guided tour from future baseball star Kirk Gibson. He got a scholarship from Note Dame, but turned it down when he was drafted by the Yankees. His campus tour guide at Notre Dame was a much bigger legend than even Kirk Gibson - football Hall of Famer Joe Montana!

    Man, if I had a friend who said they got college tours from Kirk Gibson and Joe Montana, I'd think they were pulling my leg. But I guess he was highly regarded enough to get VIP treatment.

    Good recap! Hudler is an energetic dude!

    That's a pretty cool connection between Hudler and Montana. I wonder if he also knew Rudy Ruettiger.
