As a reminder, I went to the All-Star game and Home Run Derby in Cincinnati. So I’m collecting this All-Star Stitches set! These cards have swatches from the Monday practice festivities.
This is the 40th card toward this set.
Card number: STIT-BHO
Player: Brock Holt
How I got the card: COMC in April
Position: Infielder/Outfielder (he ended up playing Left Field)
How he made the roster: Holt was added as a reserve by manager Ned Yost.
Holt made his 1st All-Star team in his 2nd full season, and he was the only Red Sox All-Star despite the fact they were only two years removed from being WS Champs. He hasn’t made the ASG since, though he’s been an important cog in a successful Sox run in the years since.
First half stat line: .292/2/22
All-Star game: 0-1 with a run and a strike out. Holt came in for Mike Trout, who had walked, as a pinch runner in the 7th and came around to score on a Manny Machado double. He struck out to lead off the top of the 9th when Aroldis Chapman struck out the side.
