237 - JAIME NAVARRO, BREWERS, P

  
The basics: Jaime Navarro's lone appearance in the 1993 Upper Deck set after enjoying the best season of his career.
 
Card thoughts: Navarro is exclaiming from the mound, kind of a preview of the kind of yelling shot that would become commonplace on cards 30 years later.
 
 

Backs are important in '93 UD: Navarro established career-highs in victories, innings pitched and shutouts in 1992. He'd also have some decent seasons for the Cubs in the mid-1990s.

More from '93: On this date in 1993, Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 100th career home run during a game between the Mariners and Royals. He was the fourth-youngest to reach that milestone with only Mel Ott, Eddie Mathews and Tony Conigliario doing it faster.

  1. Didn't know that home run fact about Tony Conigliario. Very cool.
