Cliff Speck 1986

From the sublime to the ridiculous - Topps put the name to these images on eBay tonight. It's Cliff Speck, who pitched in just 13 games and made only one start as a nearly-30-year-old rookie for the '86 Braves.

Speck is part of that seemingly endless supply of bad Mets first-round draft choices, their first pick from 1974 (17th overall). We can thus trace him, from his brief big league sojourn (Atlanta, 1986, Topps Vault) to Baltimore's camp (1983) to his first full year as a pro, at Wausau of the Midwest League in 1975.

What...and give up show business?
