I have one card of Matt Adams, from 2013 Topps Gypsy Queen.
Playing career: First baseman Matt Adams came up with the
Cardinals in 2012 and became a regular in 2013, hitting 32 HR over the next two
years. He helped the Cardinals win the 2014 NLDS with a three-run home run off
of Clayton Kershaw to erase a 2-0 deficit in Game 4 to give the Cardinals a 3-2 win.
Where he is now: Injuries limited him to just 60 games in
2015. He hit .240 with 5 HR and 24 RBI.
My memories: He is one of many new faces the Cardinals seem
to trot out every year that get big playoff hits. I think I was listening to
the game in the car when Adams hit that homer off of Kershaw.
Google Autocomplete results: He is tenth when you type Matt
A, behind Matt Altman, a realtor. Another prominent Matt Adams is a Partner at
PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Norichika Aoki.
