Why this card is awesome: Because of no air-brushing whatsoever. Click on Jones' picture above to see the full-size image, and check out his face. That's all I'm sayin'.
Cool stat: Jones had a bad career for the Yankees. Across 1989 and 1990, he had the worst WHIP among all pitchers, minimum 90 IP.

I suddenly feel very sorry for Jimmy Jones.
That is great for a Yankees pitcher. Have to let my Yankee fan friend see this.
If I remember correctly, wasn't Dwight Gooden still on the board (and also highly regarded)when Jimmy was drafted? First 5 picks:
1. Shawon Dunston
2. Augie Schmidt (Tor)
3. Jimmy Jones
4. Bryan Oelkers (Cle)
5. Dwight Gooden
Padre fans never let Jimmy forget this.
You've got the draft order right. See it here.
