Rick Leach: He Disappeared

I'm featuring 1988 Topps Cards featuring members of my beloved Blue Jays that are featured on this blog.

I remember Rick Leach as the backup outfielder who disappeared. I can't remember the specifics, I just remember it was a big deal at the time. They couldn't find Rick Leach for a few days... does anyone out there remember this?

I did Google it, searching for the details, but most of the Rick Leach info on the web is about his career as a quarterback at the University of Michigan. He had a massive NCAA football career before choosing baseball. And to think I just know him as the utility player who disappeared.
