Rookies hold a special and important place in every sport. The work, time, and effort of so many go into a young star’s career. Being a Rookie means you are the top 1% of humanity. It holds so much hope but unfortunately, for many, their meteoric rise can also come with a quick and steep fall. The stars truly have to align for a player to make it into the bigs. But for the handful that do make it, the opportunity to join the legends of the game and someday make it into the hallowed halls of Cooperstown or Canton awaits them. I wanted to honor these players by collecting, separate from their cards in their set binders, copies of each card of the Rookie of the Year, both Baseball and Football.
