Ron Gant


Ron Gant. What can I say about Ron Gant? Had a few decent roid-fueled seasons. This 1992 O-Pee-Chee features Gant prominently. However, before allowing all my Ron Gant crap to take up space in my room, I should've checked Wikipedia: Shortly after signing one of the richest contracts in Braves history in 1994, Gant broke his right leg in an ATV accident. The Braves ended up releasing him; He wouldn't play again until 1995. Former teammate Paul Assenmacher described Gant as "too self-absorbed" to become a standout player. He is one of three batters that Goose Gossage has admitted to hitting intentionally.[1]
