A little Justice for me

In 2000, the Yankees offense was puttering along.

Out of nowhere, Brian Cashman swung a trade for David Justice from the Indians. It wasn't rumored or anything (to my knowledge), Ninja Cash just struck. Back then, it was a lot easier to be surprised by a trade than now when there are 24-7 rumors before nearly all deals happen. I remember being very take aback.

Justice went on to hit .305 with 20 homers for the Yanks, and has a big post-season, including 2 HRs and 8 RBIs during the ALCS versus the Mariners, where he was named MVP.

I grew to like Justice quite a lot that year, and always have enjoyed the handful of Yankee cards I have of him from 2000-2001. I was excited to find out he had a Topps Tier 1 autograph in 2019, and that he was featured as a Yankee. After waiting for prices to come down, I was able to snag there for just a few bucks:
Very cool card, and a great keepsake for me to further remember his time as a Yankee.

  1. This is pretty much the example of how every GM hopes their trade deadline acquisition pans out. Good night that was an insane half-year's worth of production.

  2. Sweet card and the price was definitely right! I love it that some "other" players are getting packed into newer product.

  3. Awesome autograph! I realize this is a Yankees related post... but when I think of Justice... two things pop into my head: 1990 Leaf and Halle Berry.

    1. I think of him scoring the tying run in the 92 NLCS and Halle Berry.
