Meb Keflezighi has achieved what most baseball fans only dream of! The 2014 Boston Champion threw the first ball in Fenway Park on 23 April 2014. Topp’s Baseball cards included Meb in their First Pitch collection, which goes on sale on February 6.
I am going to get a packet! Somewhere, in the attics of my parents house, lies my box of baseball cards from the 1960s with Willie Mays, Bob Gibson, Curt Flood, Dal Maxvill, and Red Schoenidist! Well, at least I think so, but that was 1974.
