Featuring Heathcliff Slocumb with the Philadelphia Phillies, this Heathcliff Slocumb autographed 1995 Donruss #263 Philadelphia Phillies card represents the hard-throwing right-handed reliever during his tenure in Philadelphia.

Slocumb made his Major League debut with the Chicago Cubs in 1991 before joining the Cleveland Indians and eventually the Phillies. He arrived in Philadelphia in 1994 and quickly earned an important role in the club's bullpen.
His breakthrough came in 1995, when Slocumb became the Phillies' primary closer and recorded 32 saves while appearing in 63 games. His performance earned him his first National League All-Star selection, representing Philadelphia at the Midsummer Classic.
Slocumb later pitched for the Boston Red Sox, where he earned his second All-Star selection in 1996 and recorded a career-high 31 saves. In 1997, Boston traded him to the Seattle Mariners in a notable deadline deal that brought future All-Stars Jason Varitek and Derek Lowe to the Red Sox.
