Dave Winfield was a superb athlete being named All-American and winning the College World Series MVP Award . . . as a pitcher. Following college he was drafted by the San Diego Padres, the NBA's Atlanta Hawks, the ABA's Utah Jazz and the NFL's Minnesota Vikings even though he never played college football. He signed with the Padres as a pitcher and skipped the Minor Leagues where the Padres made him an outfielder so they could get his bat in the lineup on a daily basis. He became a 12-time All-star, 7-time Gold Glove winner and 6-time Silver Slugger who added a World Championship and a Hall of Fame plaque to his accomplishments. I currently have 603  unique Beckett recognized cards of Dave in my collection. Here are nine of them.
