im guessing, its Michael Young

Am I alone in thinking it looks like a drawing or CGI?

I'm with you. I think the whole thing is some fancy CGI. The shadow is for sure....haha.

Probably not even an actual player's image.

To me it has to be a shortstop, it looks like he is diving from the left side of second base

Could be a shifted over 3rd baseman, or the other shift going on with a 2nd baseman on the wrong side of 2nd. heh Stupid shifts anyways!

When I googled Southwest Airlines and Ian Kinsler, it turns out that their lead mechanic is named Ian Kinsler. ... (Not the MLB guy) ... Ironic? I thought I'd find some advertising campaign linking the 2 but nothing there conclusively linking the 2.

I dont think it is and yes, that shadow is definitely fake. It's an airplane.

Okay, here's the 2000 Rangers Roster non-pitchers ....right handed throwers only ( his glove is on his left hand in the pic) ... So my original guess of Kinsler is impossible ... He wasn't on the roster in the first place.
Michael Young just might be the best choice. 2nd choice guess for me would be Gabe Kapler ... Outfielder, but not impossible

Well, nothing definitive, but sounds like Michael Young is the best choice?
(of course the shadow is CGI'd in...but doubt the player is).

Maybe it's just the way it's scanned but the player doesn't look real at all.

Can you post a picture of the back of the card. How do you know it's from 2000? Southwest had a promotion at a Rangers game in 2000 which was a baseball card set giveaway. However the cards look nothing like this card. Which makes me wonder if it isn't from a different year.

[odditycards]

Entire set is of 2000. Rumor has it was given away on only a couple of flights for one day.
Ya...card is bad photo.
