The long time Pirates shortstop, spent a year with the Royals before joining the Diamondbacks at the end of the 1997 season. Became the Diamondback's second baseman. The 2000 set is known for it's gray/silver borders, the team-colored field with the words "Topps 2000" in gold foil. The backs of the players cards are vertical, something not seen since 1993. The blurb below the stats says that Jay set his team's positional home run record for the last three years, which is kind of easy to do in the D'Back's case since he was with the team for its first two years of existence.
