"I never even knew my Topps cards got made up. It was after I had a good year in Bristol and I got promoted to the SAL league (Kannapolis) after leading the Appalachian League in strikeouts. I thought nothing of it until people starting sending a bunch of cards to the clubhouse for me to sign. People on the road would ask me to sign and i always asked them if I could have a card because I didn’t have any of myself. I wanted my family to be able to see them. One of my favorites was the card with the Ohio State flag in the background. I thought it was cool to see where I came from. As far as collecting cards i stopped collecting once I got drafted. I met all the people and I didn’t want to use the platform to get those guys to sign. I knew them in real life and those are good enough for me."
