#687 Mickey Brantley



Why this card is awesome: Because, geez, Brantley got around in the minor leagues. From Bakersfield CA to Chattanooga TN to Salt Lake City UT to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Cool stat: Brantley couldn't stick in the majors mainly because of a terrible OBP. Among players who had at least 30 career HR, he had one of the lowest walk totals.

The most interesting thing about Mickey Brantley is that he grew up with Mike Tyson, check it out:
