Elf Week: Francisco, that's fun to say


Today's line is "Francisco, that's fun to say. Francisco"
As Brad pointed out when he left the comment, Cutch played in San Francisco for half a season.

I could show off ALL my McCutchen Giants cards, but trust me when I say that would be a huge undertaking.  Remember when I showed that massive post of Cutch only in Yankees uniform?

It would be a Game Changer to highlight almost 250+ cards in one post, though.
Cutch is a pretty special player, but I'm not sure I am prepared for showing off all those cards in one post.  There's so many cards of Cutch in a San Francisco uniform worthy of their own post.

I could show off a bunch of cards that feature him in a Giants uniform that picture only jersey relic cards that feature the famous Golden Gate bridge found on the San Francisco Giants 60th anniversary sleeve patch like you see above (which is part of the card below)

Awhile back I showed off a few cards of Cutch that show him wearing the number 22 for the San Francisco Giants.  You can revisit that post here. The San Francisco Giants will retire #22 for Will Clark next year which means Cutch is the last player to wear the number 22 for San Francisco before it is retired.


I could even just show a few cards that represent Cutch wearing a road jersey that specifically says San Francisco


Or I could only show Panini cards that represent him as a member of the San Francisco baseball club.
I have some nice ones of those...
But that's a lot of cards to show off as well, many of which deserve their own post that I've been drafting since August 2019


How about a card that features Francisco Cervelli on the front and Andrew McCutchen on the back?
I showed off this card  during my Save Second Base Event that featured Jennifer Love Hewitt.  You can revisit it here.

Or there is this 2015 Topps Heritage team card that shows what I believe to be both Cutch and Francisco Liriano in the right corner.
It's a better cameo of both them than this hidden cameo on Wandy Rodriguez' 2014 Topps card.
Oh you don't see Francisco?
That's because Topps cropped him from the right corner and McCutchen from the left.

Francisco, that truly is fun to say...

The Cole Train Keeps Chugging Along

Last night, Gerrit Cole made history when he struck out Shin Soo Choo for his 300 punchout of the year.  That makes him the 18th pitcher in MLB history to accomplish the feat.

I have about 50 autographs of Gerrit Cole and probably an equal amount of relics.

Below (in no particular order) I will show my 18 favorite Gerrit Cole autographs or relic cards.

Here are some of my favorites with Cutch


 




And here are some of my favorites with just Cole















And here are some others
