It has been an absolute roller coaster of emotions. From the fun moments of looking at houses to putting in offers and the anticipating of knowing if the offer would be accepted to all other things this process has been extremely stressful and taxing mentally and physically. Hopefully we will have everything finalized early in December and I can show off the new Cutch Cave early next year.
About 2 months ago I showed off a box of relics that I never logged or showed off. I haven't had much time to go through all my boxes still as I prepare for the move, but did come across this nice card from 2015 Topps Museum.
What a beauty of a card!
The Cutch and Josh Donaldson patches are really nice! I love the tiny sliver of silver from the Stanton patch too.
It's unfortunate that the Trout relic is just a boring grey jersey relic.
Fun fact, this card has 1,178 career Home Runs between the 4 players featured on it.
Giancarlo Stanton leads the pack with 347 career homers. He hit 35 last year leading the four featured players in 2021. He won the NL MVP in 2017 and finished second in 2014.
Mike Trout has the second most career round trippers, but hit only 8 last year due to injuries. He has 9 seasons of top 5 MVP votes. He has played only 9 full seasons in the majors, winning the award three times. He is this generation's greatest ball player.
Cutch has 270 career homers and hit the second most in the 2021 season among the four with 27. He has finished in the top 5 MVP votes in 4 consecutive seasons (2012-2015), winning it in 2013.
Josh Donaldson has 251 home runs and hit 26 in 2021. He was the AL MVP for the 2015 season and has finished in the top 5 three times.
Overall these are extremely impressive numbers for the four players featured on the card.
How many of these guys do you think will be immortalized in the Hall of Fame one day?
I would say definitely Trout, maybe Cutch, and Stanton and Donaldson on the outside looking in. If Stanton can accumulate well over 500, that could change. But doesn't seem like he'll age well.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the Cutch Cave!
It is too soon to make the call for any of them really, but I have all 4 in my PC's as I believe they all could get the call.
