Random 90s Athlete of the Day: Joe McEwing

Super Joe broke into the league in '99 with the Cardinals and had a remarkable rookie season. The guy was as scrappy as they come, playing every position but pitcher and catcher in his rookie campaign. He slugged .275 with 9 home-runs and 141 hits, a third of his career total. Joe also had a 25 game hit streak and finished 5th in NL Rookie of the Year Voting. He was traded to the Mets the next year where he played for 5 seasons and even made a World Series appearance in 2000 before calling it a career.

Joe is known for the way he just abused future hall of famer Randy Johnson throughout his career. The legend started in 2000, when Joe went 4-6 against the Big Unit with 3 doubles, a homerun, and 4 RBI's.

I'm talking about him today because he might have one of the sickest highlight reels of all time. Check it out.

The combination of the Foo Fighters grunge guitar and the action pics of Joe are just majestic.
