I have the biggest collection of Jeff Ballard cards on here - so was a bit surprised to see his face pop up on here. 

He's from my original hometown of Billings, MT. He's well known around there and I met him a few times, he's even flipped through my own collection and donated this card to me that we had to find a way to get into the TCDB database (https://www.tcdb.com/Forum.cfm/Page/S/ID/256210/?MODE=VIEW&ThreadID=33707&C=12)

When it was first brought back, Bowman was fun because they used a bunch of spring training photos and in many cases it was the first card of someone with a new team.  Not great sets by any means, but fun in their own way.

"Holy crap! It's you! I loved you in 'Spaceballs' and 'Independence Day!'"

JEFF: Huh?

"Aaron, stop making a fool of yourself. That's obviously not Bill Pullman. It's that guy from 'Tron' and 'Babylon 5!'"

JEFF: ......

 

[P.S. - In addition to the likenesses of Pullman and Bruce Boxleitner, I do see the similarities to Owen Wilson now that that's been pointed out.]
