Tigers Card Tuesday- 2022 Topps NOW- Garret Hill MLB Debut

On July 4th 🇺🇸 of this year we ventured  the 2+ hours from South Portage to Downtown Detroit to watch the Detroit Tigers take on the Cleveland Guardians.



🐅⚾️ The 1pm game was the first of a split Doubleheader, and our first ever big league game on July 4th.


2️⃣4️⃣ Yes, that's the great Miguel Cabrera batting...we had awesome seats! 


📞The Tigers called up young right hander Garrett Hill , a 26 year old out of Petaluma, California and San Diego State University to pitch Game One.



⚾️  Topps NOW cards aren't for everyone, but when it's a card that's of significance in Tigers history, especially when it's a game that I was in attendance, then I get the card, if possible. 


🐅⚾️ Hill was brilliant in his big league debut, holding the Guardians, a team that Detroit has struggled mightily against, to just 2 hits.




As the back of Hill's card states, the young man made Tigers franchise history, and we were there to see it. 


🤔 Have you been to a big league game on July 4th, or on Memorial Day?

Do you get any of the Topps NOW cards?


😊 Thanks for taking part of your day tonstop by and read my post today, it's much appreciated. 

Play BALL! ⚾️

  1. Good card for a Tigers fan. Maybe you two should go to more of their games.

    And it's always nice to see a future Hall of Famer play live.

  2. Haven't been to a big league game either of those dates. Closest was a game at Fenway Park on July 6. ... Topps Now cards are cool for moments like this. Wish they looked better.
