Franco would make it further than his uncler his grandfather before himnduring a long road in the minors before MLB debut with the Cubs in 1995 Aaron Loup Pillow Cover. But it was with his trade to the Mets in 1996 that Franco would find his home, as the primary pinch hitter for some successful late 90s Mets teams.
