I have six cards of Brandon Belt. This one is from 2012 Topps Chrome.
Player profile: First baseman Brandon Belt came up with a
lot of hype, making his major league debut as the Opening Day starting first
baseman for the defending champion Giants in 2011. He struggled with injuries
that year, but played a full season in 2012, helping the Giants to another
world championship.
Where he is now: Took another step closer to stardom with a
solid 2013 season, hitting .289 with 17 HR and 67 RBI. He turns 26 in August,
so he still has time to completely harvest his considerable potential.
My memories: I remember him being hyped quite a bit, with
him replacing someone (Aubrey Huff? Pat Burrell? Don’t remember now) from a
World Champion team.
Interesting facts: Has a blog with fellow Giant Brandon
Crawford. The most recent posts are about their experiences as visitors in New
York, which was interesting to read as a New York native.
Google Autocomplete results: He is second when you type
Brandon Be, between Brandon Beachy, pitcher for the Braves, and Brandon Beemer,
a soap opera actor. There do not appear to be any other prominent Brandon
Belts.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Carlos Beltran.
