Notes:
Floyd Chiffer pitched for three seasons for the San Diego Padres, including 15 games for the 1984 National League Champions (though he was not on the post-season roster). His spot in my collection, though, was earned by logging time in the Twins' minor league system in 1985. I figure that if I'm going to collect autographed Twins minor league cards, I should also include guys who played in the Twins system even if they didn't have a card depicting them as a member of the organization. I'm actually pretty surprised that Chiffer didn't get a call-up to the Twins. He had a great year at Toledo in 1985 with 9 wins, 13 saves, and a 2.49 ERA. As brutal as the Twins bullpen was in the mid '80s, he couldn't have been any worse!
