Brian Downing was one of the most underrated players of his era. In 20 seasons from 1973 through 1992, Downing slashed .267 / .370 / .425 with 275 home runs and over 2,000 hits. Still productive at age 41, he was one of the first sluggers to introduce heavy weight training into his workouts.
During my last visit to Gingerbread Antiques in Waxahachie, I grabbed a signed 1990 Donruss Diamond Kings Brian Downing baseball card.
