Posted
this card on Twitter a few weeks ago, a special request to have Juan
Soto's 2025 Heritage card showing him as not only a New York Yankee, but
designated as an All-Star, which he was for the 2024 game:
Topps
went ahead and had him airbrushed (or Photoshopped) into a Mets uni for
the set, while also NOT having the sweet All-Star designation in the
lower left-hand corner, leaving an empty spot for us completists.
So
I went ahead and made one up to insert in my binder with the other
All-Stars, while properly having Yordan Alvarez at the DH spot, which he
was voted into.
Of course Soto would break many a Yankee
fan's heart by eventually signing with the crosstown Mets organization
for three-quarters of a BILLION dollars, thus becoming an instant figure
of hate in the Bronx.
Nevertheless the man is on his way to
the Hall of Fame, still only 26 years of age and already a batting
champ, World Champ, and owner of some incredible seasons.
Time, as they say, will tell...
