1994 Upper Deck Collector's Choice #80 Royce Clayton
Clayton spent one season with my team (2003) during the period known as "The Milwaukee Brewers: The Dismal Years," but he gets a lifetime pass for getting into a 2000 shoving match with Chad Curtis after Curtis took umbrage with Royce's choice of clubhouse rap music. If you know anything about Curtis, you know how easy it is to side with Clayton in this dust-up.
I seem to remember him being a good defensive shortstop, but I'm not motivated enough to look it up.
ReplyDeleteI've been following this event for years. I love it. It's always very entertaining. But I feel like I've missed where these cards come from. Did you select from your own collection? Has a third party assembled these cards and sent them to you? Did Ed Lynch himself come down your chimney on the first Lynchmas to bequeath to you the ultimate eclectic pile of cardboard? What's the CARD-VENT origin story?

I'll never tell.
DeleteBack in the early 90's... I thought Clayton was going to be the next Bay Area superstar. Pretty sure I hoarded his Bowman rookie cards.
