Favorite Player: Andruw Jones

    

A few year after I really started following baseball, Andruw Jones came onto the scene. He hit a HR in the 1996 World Series to become the youngest player to hit one, and everyone was saying he would be the next Willie Mays. His cards were red-hot in 1997. I could never pull one, but I did finally get some in 1998. I never did get a copy of his 1995 Bowman rookie, but I may have to look for one soon. He made some amazing catches in centerfield for the Braves, and he was so good that he could play extremely deep. He could also hit for power and had a 50 HR season in 2005 to go along with all of the Gold Gloves. He finished his career with 434 Home Runs, 1933 Hits, and 10 Gold Gloves. I don't see why he doesn't get some consideration for the Hall of Fame.
One of the main reasons I collect Jones is that he was a coach for the Netherlands team in the 2017 WBC.
