Fred Breining with a 'Chris Hanson knows me by name' look.
Another thing about 80's baseball players...awful glasses. Fred has that look that makes defense attorney's groan and make a mental note to get their client a makeover or he'll be guilty by the time a jury deliberates over a bag of Doritos.
I always liked these Topps cards with meaningless stuff on the back like some utility infielder who went 2 for 4 with a double and 3 RBI's in a game.
I think my factoid for Fred would be something like 'Fred's road beef is 9 year old boys' or 'Fred mysteriously painted the inside of the windows of his van.'
Fred was tall (6'4") and skinny (175 lbs) and wasn't a fireballer by his low strikeout ratio. He also blew out his shoulder on a throw to first. Now he teaches pitching to kids privately up in NorCal. I dunno, if I was a parent I think I would be a tad apprehensive about a guy who looks like this and blew out his shoulder throwing to first to be teaching my kid....but I'm super judgemental like that
