# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born 18 February 1967, Baggio arrived as a technically gifted playmaker known for curling free-kicks and dribbling that could unlock any defense. In 1990, he moved from Fiorentina to Juventus for a world record fee, beginning a nomadic career across seven Italian clubs that yielded two Serie A titles, a Coppa Italia, and a UEFA Cup. He starred at the 1990 World Cup as Italy finished third, then carried them to the 1994 final and earned the Silver Ball — before missing the decisive penalty in the shootout against Brazil. In 1993, he won both the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year. By 2002, he'd become the first Italian in over 50 years to surpass 300 career goals; two years later, he retired as the seventh-highest scorer in Serie A history with 205 goals. The Divine Ponytail — named for his hairstyle, his Buddhist faith, and his talent — remains the only Italian to score in three World Cups.
