In 2014, Jeff Francis was 1-0 for the Yankees in two games, pitching a grand total of 1 and 2/3 innings. Yet, he snuck into a game in the 14th inning, pitched a scoreless inning, and came away with a 'W' after Chase Headley's walk-off hit in his Yankees debut. Pretty cool!
Francis pitched for the Yanks again a few days later, and then was released. He's currently in camp with the Blue Jays, but certainly did his best work early in his career in Colorado. His best season was in 2007, when he went 17-9 with a top-10 Cy Young finish.
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.
