Fulenchek debuts in the baseball card world The baseball card craze hasn't hit like it did back in 1989, but the first ever Howe player to ever have a true baseball card is now available for the entire world to find. Amazon.com and ebay.com each have the card listed anywhere from opening bids of $0.99 for the 2014 Bowman Draft Chrome to $299.99 for the 2014 Bowman Draft Prospect which there are only five available (seen left in the picture). Pitching for the Gulf Coast League Braves, Fulenchek had an ERA of 4.78 in his first professional season. He pitched 37.2 innings, giving up 34 hits, walking 22 and striking out 29. Opponents hit just .238 off of him in his 12 games. Fulenchek's status is unkown to this point whether he will move up in the minors or stay with the Gulf Coast Braves. He says he won't know for sure until he reports to spring training in Florida next month.
