Mr. Meyer's Neighborhood

Pop that collar, Bri. Pop it good.

Brian Meyer
Pitcher, Houston Astros
1990 Donruss #648

Donruss Fact: Signed by the Astros out of Rollins (FL) Coll.
GMT Fact: Between starts, Brian impersonated puppets and would regularly try to sneak into the Neighborhood of Make-Believe. Even Fred Rogers was creeped out by this. Sure he looked like a puppet, but when you are 6'1" and dressed in tights prowling for children, you're in for a world of hurt. King Friday XIII had Meyer executed in 1993 before a shocked X the Owl and Henrietta Pussycat.

Ron Robinson
Pitcher, Cincinnati Reds
1990 Score #495

Bonus GMT Fact: Embarrassed by almost losing a perfect game to Ron Robinson, the Expos decided to hightail out of Montreal in shame. It took a over 15 years, but they got it done.
