Greg Garrett 1970
There aren't many confirmed cases of werewolves in MLB but...
Or, if you prefer, an early model for Hugh Jackman's portrayal of Wolverine. Mind you these Braces of the Angels' and Reds' lefty shows the evolution of Garrett's sideburn game over the course of the same season. Obviously they're from different visits to Comiskey Park (lord, I hope so).
In just 55 games Garrett piled up a 2.0 WAR and a 2.48 ERA, but his 89 strikeouts to 87 walks ratio (including 2 K's to 10 BB with the 1971 Reds) sank his hopes.
Garrett was on a three-player Topps rookie card, got his own 1971 card with a blacked out cap, and has shown up in a couple of Topps Vault negatives with both California and Cincinnati. There is also a 1971 Dell Stamp with his name, auto and bio, but it ain't him. The pitcher is a righty and Garrett was a southpaw (I have reason to believe the stamp actually shows the elusive Wally Wolf - more on that subsequently).
