Two Months in the Majors

As part of my last trade I received a Brent Bowers autograph card. Many people have no idea who he is, and with good reason. Brent spent just over a month in the bigs with the Orioles during the home stretch of the 1996 season. He hit for a great average, /307, but was lacking in all power categories.

And what did he get for his efforts? Free agency. He landed just North on I-95 in Philadelphia. He was never able to break through to the major leagues again and with a 14 year minor league career. With limited major league appearances, Brent only has 2 major cards produced, both with the Blue Jays. He does have a Bowie BaySox card from 1996 out there somewhere, but I have yet to find one. He's been coaching in the minors, so if I do happen to find a BaySox card, I will gladly try my luck TTM.
