Why this card is awesome: Because of the insanely cool action shot Browne's got going on. I presume he's just laid down a bunt and his face is positively ripe with competitive fire. There happens to be an even cooler card coming up at #150, but this one certainly does nicely for #139.
Cool stat: The Governor, although he had no power at all, was not a bad little player. Seeing as he's bunting above, it seems appropriate to mention that he cracks the top ten in sacrifice hits from 1987 to 1995 (coming in at #7.)

Cool, I see he was signed by Orlando Gomez, who until recently was the BP pitcher and sometime bullpen coach for the Orioles.
Jerry Browne outranks Sean Casey and Fred Hoiberg.
Yeah, I found the scout info on these 1988 Topps cards really interesting.
Jerry Browne might outrank Casey and Hoiberg, but his real claim to fame as "The Governor" is having Linda Ronstadt for a girlfriend.
That was, of course, Jerry Brown, the actual governor of California, who dated Rondstadt.
