Why this card is awesome: Because of the snippet on the back about Nunez regarding being a member of the Dominican team in the Pan Am Games as his greatest baseball thrill. These days, it seems to be all about the money, and it's nice to remember a time when all players placed a high value on national pride.
Cool stat: Nunez didn't have a very long career, but one amusing stat I found was the two batters he gave up multiple homers to: Joe Carter and Sam Horn.

When your career ERA to date is 5.01, it's probably not surprising that amateur baseball will be your highlight.
