There have been a lot of baseball players with cool names, but Rex Hudler has to be one of my favorites. I actually met him once back in the late 90’s at my first Phillies Caravan in Harrisburg, PA. I remember it so well because while waiting in line to get autographs, one of the employees of the Phillies came up to me and asked if I would like to go upstairs to visit with the Phillies instead of waiting in the very long line. I said “sure”, and we made our way up the elevator. In the media room the Phillies were in I met John Vukovich, Mike Lieberthal, Wayne Gomes, and Rex Hudler. That was the day I became a huge Phillies fan. The name Rex Hudler just sounds like a baseball player’s name. I wish they wouldn’t made more cards of him. He has an autographed card from 1996 Leaf Signature. I know for a fact they never made any memorabilia cards. Over his 14 years as a professional, he had a batting average of .261, 461 hits, and 56 HR’s.
