Awright! A local boy!

I'll always be happy to welcome any new Mets card into my collection. But this one is especially welcome.

Because for the first time since Ryan Braun (the Royals pitcher), my hometown is on the back of a baseball card!

See! There it is!  He knew that he'd be picked by the Mets in that position, so his father had to go out and purchase a Mets cap for the draft night. And even if they end up changing it to his hometown of Heidelberg, he'll still be a Mets prospect for my team collection, or a new face for my Canadians in baseball PC. Perfection!

There you have it!
