Bruce Ruffin Autographed 1995 Donruss #476 Colorado Rockies Card

Featuring Bruce Ruffin with the Colorado Rockies, this Bruce Ruffin autographed 1995 Donruss #476 Colorado Rockies card represents the veteran left-hander who became one of the primary relief pitchers during the early years of the franchise. Ruffin spent seven seasons with Colorado and successfully transitioned from starting pitcher to late-inning reliever during his career.

The Philadelphia Phillies selected Ruffin in the second round of the 1985 MLB Draft, and he reached the Major Leagues the following season. As a rookie in 1986, he made 21 starts and finished 9-4 with a 2.46 ERA, establishing himself as a promising member of the Philadelphia rotation.

After six seasons with the Phillies and a year with the Milwaukee Brewers, Ruffin joined the expansion Colorado Rockies for their inaugural 1993 season. He appeared in 60 games that year, working primarily out of the bullpen and recording three saves.

Ruffin developed into Colorado's closer and recorded 24 saves in 1994 during the strike-shortened season. He followed with another 13 saves in 1995 as the Rockies captured the National League Wild Card and reached the postseason in just their third season of existence.

Ruffin pitched 12 Major League seasons with the Phillies, Brewers and Rockies, appearing in more than 500 games and recording 63 career saves. The 1995 Donruss #476 is an appealing addition for Rockies collectors, Bruce Ruffin fans, inaugural-era Colorado collections, relief pitcher collections, 1990s Donruss collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
