Ed Hearn #56

 

This week’s card is Ed Hearn!  An early reviewer of the book "The Bad Guys Won" about the 1986 Mets said "Except for Ed Hearn, all these guys are A**holes." Ed was a rookie for the #WorldSeries champion New York Mets. Traded to the Kansas City Royals for David Cone in 1987, his MLB career was over by 88. Ed has had many health troubles since including multiple kidney transplants and cancer. He has overcome those challengers to become a renowned public speaker.
