My 1st Jackie Robinson relic with special guest Roberto Clemente

Today is a historically recognized day for not just baseball, but America as a whole. As we all know Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier on this day.

This is my first relic of Jackie and it also happens to feature one of the pioneers in Latin American ballplayers too.

The back describes it perfectly

McCutchen Mailday #39: YouTuber Brad8671

A few days ago I received a package in the mail from youtuber Brad8671.  I have been a follower/subscriber of Brad's for over a year now and his videos (especially during football season) are extremely entertaining.  If you're on youtube, go check him out.

Brad was showing off a few of his 2015 National Treasures that he had gotten in group breaks and mentioned "no one wants these" regarding the Jackie Robinson Tribute cards.  Well, I quickly emailed Brad saying "I do I do" regarding the Andrew McCutchen he had gotten. 

A few short days, this beauty showed up giving me my 39th unique card of Cutch I have added this year.

 The back of the card discusses what game the jersey is from and how Cutch fared in the game.

Again I want to thank Brad for his incredible kindness in sending this card over to me.  I will hit you back with some Dolphins stuff soon brother...

Happy Jackie Robinson Day!!!!

It's Jackie Robinson Day!!!  All major league baseball players will be wearing the number 42 today.

Let's celebrate with a nice Andrew McCutchen  Prizm Jackie Robinson parallels

These numbered parallels are meant to honor Jackie Robinson's 42 and are in a dodger blue with 42 in background. I might try to seek out the other Buccos for these parallels.

Tuesday April 15th Jackie Robinson Day

Jackie Robinson changed American History

2012 Topps Triple Threads 22/36

This card shows Cutch wearing the #42 jersey in recognition of Jackie Robinson Day held every April 15th.  The card however is numbered with Cutch's actual jersey number #22/36. I've had this for over a year but never got around to posting it. To be honest, I don't remember what I paid, but I'm pretty confident it was less than the price of a blaster. Cutch is still looking for his first HR of the 2014 season, but his Pirates team mates are leading the NL in long balls as evidenced by last night's slugfest in Cincinnati where the Pirates hit 6 home runs in 6 innings.
