Chico Carrasquel 1951 Bowman rookie. The first ever Hispanic to make a start in the All Star game. Plus first in a long line of great Venezuelan shortstops in MLB history(could be an upcoming post).
my first rookie of Tigers second ace, Max Scherzer. The favorite to win the AL Cy Young this year.
and Clayton Kershaw UD Timeline rookie and of course the NL favorite for the award. I wanted this card of Kershaw because the back of the Timeline cards shows the picture of Dodger Stadium. For me part of the enjoyment of collecting, is seeing some of baseball history on cards. Currently, Dodger stadium is the second oldest NL park and many great moments have occurred there.
And I would love to attend a game there one day. Eat a Dodger dog, maybe run into current announcers Vin Scully or Fernando Valenzuela, owner Magic Johnson or season ticket holder Alyssa Milano.
