“Although David did not win the Monster All-Star Final Vote as the last addition to the 2008 NL All-Star Team, he was added soon after as a replacement for the injured Alfonso Soriano. He singled and walked during the 15-inning marathon. It was Wright’s third straight Fall Classic, including the ’06 game, when he homered in his first at-bat.”
Randy Johnson retired last month. I’m pretty sure he will be first-ballot Hall of Famer when he becomes eligible, I think in 2016.
Also of note, I noticed the card is missing a letter… it says, “RANDY MOVES UP TO NO. 2 ON ALL-TIME K LIS”
