Featuring Ben Rivera with the Philadelphia Phillies, this Ben Rivera autographed 1992 Donruss The Rookies #104 Philadelphia Phillies card comes from Donruss' rookie-focused boxed set and captures the right-handed pitcher at the beginning of his Major League career.

A native of the Dominican Republic, Rivera signed with the Atlanta Braves as an amateur free agent before eventually joining the Phillies organization. He made his Major League debut with Philadelphia in 1992, appearing in 15 games and making 12 starts during his first season.

Rivera became a regular member of the Phillies starting rotation in 1993, making 28 starts and pitching 152 2/3 innings. He finished 13-9 with a 5.02 ERA and 96 strikeouts as Philadelphia went 97-65, captured the National League East title and advanced to its first World Series since 1983.

One of Rivera's most memorable performances came on September 8, 1993, when he pitched a one-hit shutout against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. He struck out eight and allowed only a fifth-inning single in Philadelphia's 6-0 victory during the club's pennant-winning season.

Rivera pitched three Major League seasons with Philadelphia before later continuing his professional career in Japan.
