Julio
In the summer of 1980, I watched Julio and his Class A Carolina League Peninsula Pilots teammates march to a record of 100-40. One of only two Carolina League teams ever to reach 100 wins.
Here's his minor league card from that team (not mine):
There's a card store (The Tenth Inning) nearby that used to be partially owned by the GM (Bob Neal) of those teams. Bob passed away several years ago, but his partner at the time is still the owner today. I'll stop by and see if they have any Julio Franco Pilots stuff.
