Cam Schlittler's History Night Gets Epic Topps Now Card
In this story:
Cam Schlittler's legendary performance last night against the Boston Red Sox has earned him more than "household name status", he gets his first playoffs Topps Now card.
The Performance
Last night, Cam Schlittler took the mound with just 14 career starts in the majors. Taking the ball for the first time ever in the playoffs, in Yankee Stadium, and against a team he grew up watching, Schlittler became an instant legend.
The Yankees needing a quality start out of their rookie, Schlittler pitched his heart out, and into the record books. No matter the situation, the inning, Schlittler continued to dominant. Scattering just 5 hits over 8 innings, no Red Sox reached third base. His 12 strikeouts were the most ever in a winner-take-all situation, incredible for any pitcher, let alone someone who was called up in July.
