A guy I forget about, but he was a pretty good ballplayer.
#210 please.
I remember seeking Baerga rookies back in the early 90's... but had no idea he was drafted by the Padres. Also didn't realize he played there in 1999 either.
836
Also didn't realized his ties to the Padres. I can only picture him in a Cleveland uniform.
124 please
Cleveland should retire his #. He was instrumental in those 1989-1996 teams that started the playoff run and fans in Cleveland remember him fondly enough.
Bargain was a solid player. #76
Baerga, silly autocorrect
