February is American Heart Month. As a nod to the Go Red for Women activities going on this month to help raise awareness, I thought I'd contribute several "red" themed posts sprinkled throughout the month.
Let's talk about this card...
Kelly Johnson played ten gmes for the Red Sox in 2014. He was acquired from the Yankees at the deadline for Stephen Drew. A month later, he was traded to the Orioles in a four players deal. So, obviously, not a lot to say about his Red Sox career. Glad he was able to get a card out of it, though.
I'm sure you all remember Mina Smith from her interview with us. Through her social impact initiative "Love Your Neighbor" she is fundraising for the American Heart Association. I highly recommend you support her efforts with a donation if you are able. You can find the link here.
It's a simple card. I'm guessing there weren't a ton of pictures to choose from. I don't actually remember the Red sox wearing the blue and red combo like that. That's nice to see. Otherwise, it's a rather non-descript card. Which I guess you get every once in a while.

One of the few to have played for all 5 AL East teams!
ReplyDeleteIt’s interesting how even a short stint with a team can become a memorable part of a player’s baseball card history. Kelly Johnson may not have had much time with the Red Sox in 2014, but the red-themed card still makes for a nice addition to the collection. I also like the old-school look of the blue and red uniform combination, especially since it gives the card a little more character than a standard action shot. aphroditecasino
ReplyDeleteCollecting baseball cards adds another dimension to following the sport, especially when a card brings back memories of a particular team or season. Even players with relatively short stays on a team can make an interesting addition to a collection. More information: https://betmatchs.com.de
