The trivial Wikipedia facts on Leon Durham are delicious. However, why the fuck have I owned this baseball card since roughly 1988? Because Leon Durham had a supporting role as Leon Alexander, a member of the Minnesota Twins, in the film Little Big League. Durham appears briefly in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off. He is the first baseman in the sequence where Braves outfielder Claudell Washington hits a foul ball caught by the titular character.
I couldn't also help look up the word titular.
