Take Me Out To the Ballgame

We aren’t sure if we are investing in our financial future or just in our own American Dream, but we are definitely latching onto the star of pitching powerhouse rookie, Stephen Strasburg! Strasburg has electrified America this summer with his amazing pitching performances in his first year with the Washington Nationals.

Just a few months into his professional career, Strasburg has toppled pitching record after pitching record. He made his major-league debut on June 8, 2010, against the Pittsburg Pirates. He was the first pitcher in history to strike out at least eleven batters without issuing any walks in his pro debut, while falling just one strikeout short of the all-time record for a pitcher's debut. He struck out every batter in the Pirates' lineup at least once, including the last seven batters he faced—also a Nationals record.

Attendance at home and away games in which Strasburg is scheduled to pitch have skyrocketed…baseball fans have been whipped into a frenzy by the prospects of being in the stands to witness the toppling of one baseball pitching record after another. So, we are jumping on the bandwagon…you know we love our baseball here at It’s Good Stuff. This beautiful card is in mint condition and protected in a screw-down case. Whether you want to impress the men in your life with this unique gift idea (“How did she know about Strasburg?”)…or, you just want to invest in memorabilia to remind yourself that history continues to be made every day, you won’t regret buying this piece of Americana.
