Gavin Sheets became the 4th man named Gavin to play Major League Baseball last night, following in the footsteps of misters Floyd, Cecchini, and Lux.
Congrats, Mr. Sheets!
The 25-year old went 2-4 with 2 RBI in the White Sox 7-6 win over the Twins.
Gavin Sheets is the first #WhiteSox player with multiple hits & RBI in an MLB debut since Craig Wilson on September 5, 1998

Pretty cool.
Here's my Gavin Sheets PC as it stood on the day of his debut.
Just pulled the trigger on the Topps Now card for his debut.. which is designated as a "Call Up" not a "RC". Probably too late to get him into Update, but I'd expect him to get the rookie card treatment next year. I'm more or less content with the PC as it stands (I don't plan to chase his rookies or whatever), but I'm always happy to receive more cards of his in trade. Let's hope he has an outstanding career ahead of him!
Cool to see another Gavin make the bigs. That Barons card looks like a '93 Score knockoff.
ReplyDeleteThat's a strong baseball name as well. It's no Skye Bolt or Chadwick Tromp, but Gavin Sheets has a nice ring to it.
ReplyDeleteI love the Leaf Clear brand. And yours in a Christmas card to boot! Nice player collection!
ReplyDeleteGreat start... right out of the gates. Hopefully his MLB career lasts longer than Craig Wilson's.
ReplyDeleteYou have a pretty nice PC going there.
ReplyDeleteThey grow up so fast.
