Ticket Stud or Ticket Dud? You decide ... here's Chapter 2
With these Ticket Stud or Ticket Dud stories I'm turning just a tiny bit of that energy just a few degrees away from cards (we'll still have plenty of them here) for a different kind of cardboard. What am I doing? Simple ... this is an occasional dip into some random ticket lots -- a show and tell showing something small with a story.
This time? It's a debut ticket of sorts ... and it's right there with last time.
Keep reading to see the item and the details this time ... and tell me if you think it's a Ticket Stud or a Ticket Dud.
Juan Soto adds fuel to prospecting fire in first MLB start
One of baseball's biggest prospects this season arrived on the national stageMonday night with a bang -- and now we have to deal with the explosive interest in his very low number of baseball cards for such a heavily watched player.
His name? Juan Soto and he's a 19-year-old outfielder for the Washington Nationals who hit a three-run homer off the first pitch he saw in his first start. He finished the game 2-for-4.
"I didn't think it was going to go out of the park," Soto told ESPN.com. "I just run hard, the same I do in the minor leagues. Then I heard the noise, and I know it was gone."
In the minor leagues, Soto hit .362 with 14 homers and 52 RBI for three teams this season. He had never hit more than five homers in his two previous MiLB seasons.
