Trevor Cahill on baseball cards

Trevor Cahill pitched 13 seasons in the major leagues for nine teams, mostly the A's, Diamondbacks and Cubs, with whom he won a World Series in 2016. His best season was 2010, when he was an AL All Star, going 18-8 with a 2.97 ERA. Overall in 361 games he had a won-loss record of 86-99 [wonder if he's a fan of Get Smart?] and had a 4.26 ERA.

When I wrote to him to ask about his baseball card experiences, he replied:

"I literally just started ordering some. Haven’t gone through them yet but I loved it as a kid. Was gonna make a binder of as many as I can find for my potential grandkids."

I followed up by asking whether it was cards of himself or anyone else, and he replied:

"Just of me and then jerseys of friends."

Thanks! Here is a card of him from my collection.
