Falco Files: The Man

Sorry for all the delays with this year's event.  We are continuing to move forward with the purchase of the house.  I can't wait to show you all the new Cutch cave basement once we finally settle in next month. 

Each year during the month of October, I show off only pink (and shades of pink like magenta, peach, etc) to help raise awareness of Breast Cancer, a leading cause of death for females in the United States.  

Due to my own financial situation this year I will not be able to make a donation for each (meaningful, non spam) comment left by those that follow the blog.  Once things settle down on the home front though I will be looking to make a donation in 2022 based on the comments left during this year's event.  Hopefully together we can help at least one woman get a much needed mammogram.  Early detection is key!!!

If you want to make your own private donation please visit the National Breast Cancer Foundation.  There is a donate button on the main page and it only takes a minute of your time.  Every little bit helps.

I have focused primarily on cards that only feature Andrew McCutchen on the card, but in recent years have also featured cards with a cameo appearance (either being seen on the card or as a name cameo on the back of the card).  In 2019, I created Falco Files which discussed players that replaced (Shane Falco Replacements movie reference) on an active roster, number worn, or trade.  I will also be showing some Cutch's Crew cards that show pink cards of players that have played with Cutch on multiple teams. I will continue to utilize these styles of posts as we celebrate the 5th Collecting Cutch Save Second Base event (I am no longer counting my first run on the Pirates Treasure Room I did back in 2014).

I am always looking for new ways to incorporate new celebrities into the event so today I am presenting

Rebecca Quin

She is best known as her WWE personality, Becky Lynch and is the current WWE Raw Women title holder

She was born in Limerick, Ireland in 1987 and began wrestling professionally in 2002 as a teenager. 

She has become one of the most popular female wrestlers in the history of professional wrestling.

In 2021 she married fellow WWE superstar Seth Rollins who she has a child with

Becky Lynch has a nickname of The Man that she got in 2018 thanks to a feud with The Queen, Charlotte Flair.

Bryan Reynolds, acquired in the 2018 Andrew McCutchen trade, has become the best player on the Pirates.  Elected to his first All Star Game in 2021, he was the first Pirate to start an All Star Game since Andrew McCutchen in 2015.

He was named a finalist for a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger. 

This 2020 Topps Finest The Man insert is a callback to the 1998 Topps Finest set featuring a neon pink The Man logo on front

It features an Andrew McCutchen name cameo on the back in addition to that bright pink border on side
