Later died from AIDS

| 1987 Topps Traded #126 Alan Wiggins |
Batting ahead of Tony Gwynn as San Diego's leadoff hitter, Wiggins stole a club record 70 bases in 1984. Sadly, his cocaine addiction led to him becoming the first Major League ball player to die as a result of AIDS. He was only 32 at the time of his death, and weighed 75 pounds.
