DAVID BABYCH
The NHL hockey player signs his name and number in blue felt tip on
this card
Signature: "David/Babych/44" in blue felt. 3½x5½. David
Babych (b. 1961) is a retired NHL player of Ukrainian descent, playing
for 19 seasons with the Winnipeg Jets (1981-1986), Hartford Whalers (1985-1991),
Vancouver Canucks (1991-1998), Philadelphia Flyers (1997-1999), and the Los
Angeles Kings (1998-1999). Babych was drafted in 1980 by the Winnipeg Jets,
with his brother Wayne also being drafted around the same time. Babych had a
successful rookie career, and was voted to play for an All-Star game as early
as 1983. He continued through his career at a rather steady pace, but
suffered from various injuries along the way that impeded both the amount of
games played and the performance in the games. One such injury would cause him
to sue the Philadelphia Flyers after retiring, saying the team's orthopedic
surgeon misdiagnosed a foot injury as something less severe, and that the
injury caused him to end his career prematurely. While the jury found no
evidence of fraud for the surgeon or the Flyers, Babych was awarded $1.02
million in lost wages and $350,000 for pain and suffering. Corners slightly
rounded. Edges irregular. 2½x4 photograph affixed. Otherwise, fine
condition.
