#433 Bill Pecota
Why this card is awesome: Because Pecota is the only guy I can think of to have a sabermetric tool named after him.
Cool stat: Pecota had 6 or more total bases in 6 different games and helped his team to win each of those games.
Every copy of this card I've ever seen had that hazy red vertical stripe to the left of Pecota's head. Does anybody know if that was on the card permanently, or maybe I've just happened to see cards all from similar lots?
What was Pecota's PECOTA?
