Cardboard, number 3.

1975. This is Vincente Romo, someone I had never heard of, but someone that actually had a long and great overall pitching career. His career spanned 25 years, some in the MLB and some in the Mexican League.

His nickname is “Huevo,” which means egg in Spanish. He received the nickname in his youth which apparently came from the shape of his face on his skinny body.

Huevo came from good genes as his older brother, Enrique Romo, also had a professional career. They both are enshrined as members of the Mexican Baseball Hall of Fame. Their parents would be proud.
