Odd title, I know. But it's true! At the show this weekend I was perusing an auto and game used box and came across this interesting card. A Chris Bourjos auto! Cool!
Wait, who?
I owe a alot to this man for bringing Roy Halladay into baseball. Yes, this is a 2008 Bowman scout card. Bourjos worked with a young Roy Halladay and helped him get into the league. Just take a look at the picture below to see just how young Roy was.when he started out.
As the card says, Roy signed on 6/30/95 with the Toronto Blue Jays. The card also mentions some fun facts, like how Roy was all state in basketball, finished 3rd in the Colorado state cross country meet, and was a two time Colorado high school MVP. Is there anything this guy can't do?!
Well, Bourjos did hit his only ML homerun off of the Phillies:
