#515 Juan Nieves



Why this card is awesome: Because the card cuts off right at the bottom edge of his waistband, leading one to believe that perhaps that's just a long blue skirt he's wearing.

Cool stat: Of the 128 no-hitters thrown since 1956, Nieves' is tied around 30th worst for game score.

Because he threw a no-hitter in 1987.

I started following baseball in 1988, so being the impressionable youth that I was, I assumed that Nieves was some great hurler given that he had recently thrown that no-no. Now, uh......not so much.
