1989 Topps Big Cartoon Deep Dive: Rafael Belliard

Spring training shot of the diminutive Pirates shortstop.

For a little guy he sure could eat, though. 

Unfortunately I couldn't find any details online about Belliard's gametime meals. However, he was better at patronizing food stores than running them. In 2013 Belliard and his son bought a popular deli in Florida, and less than ten years later it went bankrupt.

  1. I love Chinese (well Chinese fast food) and Italian food. Not sure I'd want to eat it before and after working out though.

  2. All Belliard did was play Marco Polo in reverse order

  3. Pre- and post-game meals were much more fun back then ;-)
