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.
how does this guy get no. 515?
ReplyDeleteBecause he threw a no-hitter in 1987.
ReplyDeleteahhhh....i see...
ReplyDeleteI 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.
