White Whale hidden in plain sight

It's a fairly short list of post-1990 Atlanta Braves that are hard find in color, but one on my list had always been Mark Whiten, Signed as a free agent on June 24, 1996, after his release by the Phillies. He was signed as insurance after David Justice's season on a check-swing injury. Whiten was only with the Braves for 36 games, less than two months, when he was traded on August 14 to the Mariners for a Class A pitcher to make room for Terry Pendleton's return. He had a game-winning, pinch-hit 3-rum homer in his final game as a Brave.

But Whiten's Braves' image was right there all along -- as part of the perforated team set that was given away along with a Braves team photo.
