Jarvis was yet another player I watched play when he was with the Orlando Twins. I didn't realize that he was picked at #9 in the first round! I recall him having a lot of speed but not much power. Didn't he also have a brother that played in the majors too?

He was in as a pinch runner for Chili Davis (who had already hit two HR in the World Series) with no outs in the bottom of the 9th.

Some things never change with the Twins!

We call it 'The Gene Larkin Story' for some reason. Maybe because he didn't stick around for so long either....
