Collection: Yhency Brazoban 2005 Team Heroes Auto

Here is another card from autographed card collection and it features the once promising reliever Yhency Brazoban. He was a tall pitcher with a blazing fastball that appeared to jump past batters with a zip. When Yhency first came up for the Dodgers he was used primarily as a setup man, but closing out games looked to be his future. In 2005 he saved 21 games. Then, the bottom fell out. An elbow injury led to Tommy John Surgery which led to more arm troubles. Soon he was released, played in the Mexican League, then with the Mets, Ranger, and Diamondbacks, and was eventually traded to the Softbank Hawks in Japan. There, he furthers his career in the Nippon Professional Baseball League.

Here is a 2005 Donruss Team Heroes autographed card.
