Yay! My first redemption card ever! This is the reason why I suddenly decided to open up more 2008 packs. The redemption expiration date for 2008 Topps is May 2010, so I have until next spring. 2008 Red Hot Rookie Redemption #15 is for Nick Evans. He is having a really lousy season in the Mets’ farm system this year. Hope things take a turn for the better by the time my his card arrives in my mailbox.
I’ll post a scan of the card as soon as I receive it.
“Hidden in the body of a former manager of a high school basketball team were “physical tools that come along once in a lifetime.” Those were the words of former Yankees bullpen coach Joe Kerrigan describing Joba’s dynamic debut in 2007, in which he pitched 17 2/3 innings before allowing an earned run and struck out half of the first 28 hitters he faced.“
