In general, members of the Montreal Machine of the World League have been somewhat elusive for me to track down. Jacques was no exception, but after having recent successes through Facebook, I thought why not and gave it a shot. He responded kindly to me and thanked me for writing and provided me his address. I made sure to use correct postage and dropped these 3 cards in for him to sign. I figured since most of my Montreal Machine cards have languished, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to fill out the team helmet and the checklist card.
For the letter, I even used a Google translate script to write him in Canadian- French, which he found quite amusing in his short response letter. A class act, Jacques wrote me back in English, using his own postage thanking me for being a fan of the World League for all these years.
Played college ball for Ohio State returning 24 kicks for 520 yards and catching 8 passes for 142 yards and a TD over 1984 and 1986.
Selected in the 7th round of the 1987 draft by the San Diego Chargers.
A blazing long distance runner, he was part of the Ohio St 400 Meter Relay team.
Saw time as a wide receiver, kick returner, and moonlighted occasionally as a runningback over 3 seasons for SD.
Best season came in 1988 when Jamie logged 810 yards on 31 kick returns, scoring a 94 yard TD.
During 1988 also had 536 Yards receiving and a TD on 39 catches.
Over 3 seasons ran 10 times for 82 yards.
Traded to the Los Angeles Raiders in 1990, seeing time exclusively as a kick returner.
Started 3 games in 1992 playing for the Cleveland Browns starting 3 games.

NOTES:
Jamie wrote me a nice note thanking me for writing him. He has an amazing autograph, with just the right amount of pressure and curves, and an elegant enough stroke, at just the right size. Jamie was lucky, to play when he did, as he had some great cards produced during his playing days.
Celebrating the game, the players, the cards, and the autographs for over 25 years.
