  1. I remember this card but didn't know much about him. Seems like a lot of utility infielders become managers.


    Merry Christmas Matt!

  2. That's a cool opportunity to get. It's nice he was able to get a job in baseball, even if he wasn't playing anymore.

    And a very merry Christmas Matt!
