So i picked up a bobo holloman card.
cool name and the first player i saw with an 87 movement rating
S = 55
M = 87
C = 28
Overall = 69

He is an unsung hero card.
He is interesting because he played only 1 season.

So why is he even in the game?? This is it I gather : ))

Who is the only major-league pitcher in the modern era to throw a no-hitter in his first start? The answer is the St. Louis Browns’ big right-hander Alva Lee “Bobo” Holloman. “Improbable” was the adjective most often used to describe Holloman’s gem of May 6, 1953 — and its odd distinction would come to stand out more. As is always recounted, that was the only complete game Bobo pitched in his short career — he was out of the majors before the end of the 1953 season with only three victories to his name.

Baseball has such intersting stories!
I will continue to play him no matter what damage he does to my team : )

I am looking forward to going playing regular OOTPB and developing him into a star!!
