The picture on the reverse looks like it was taken after a rain delay (or an off day) because that looks like a tarp over the infield. The grey overcast sky in the background is another indication of rain.
For whatever reason I don't remember Jeff not being on the 1995 World Series roster. 1995 was not a good year for Jeff, in 115 games he batted only .211. In the division series and NLCS he went 0-10 with two walks and five strikeouts. Ouch. I guess that's why he wasn't on the World Series roster.
Blauser was just an average player who showed some streaks of brilliance from time to time. He was a two time All Star (he started at short in 1997) and won the Silver Slugger in 1997. But I'll always remember him as a much better player than he really was. I still miss Blauser and Lemke up the middle in Atlanta.
He had a great year in 1997, and though he cooled off considerably in early August, he was still batting over .350 as late as June 28.

wow. Good times. I loved Blaus... he was an odd one, like me.
