Five years ago yesterday(I was too tired from the Kings game to post this on Friday), the Dodgers traded pitcher Edwin Jackson and minor-leaguer Chuck Tiffany to Tampa Bay for
Danys Baez and Lance Carter. Since then, Jackson has been traded three more times, from Tampa Bay to Detroit, Detroit to Arizona, and finally from Arizona to the Chicago White Sox. You can read Edwin's bio
here.
Jackson's biggest career highlight came last year. While with the Diamondbacks, he threw one of the most taxing
No-Hitters ever against the Tampa Bay Rays, throwing 149 pitches to accomplish the feat.
So, on the anniversary of the Dodgers trading Edwin, I'd thought I'd post his autograph. This is a 2005 Upper Deck Edwin Jackson Trilogy Generations Future Auto #'d 19/99.
Sweet looking auto. Were all the autos in the set blue, or did they change with the team? Otherwise, it matches the Dodgers colors perfectly.
ReplyDeleteArno - Good question. Not sure. This is the only one I own out of the set. Checked UD's site. It showed the cards, but not the signatures.
ReplyDeleteNice card, clean auto... just wish he was still a Dodger. However, he seems to be quite successful in the AL, which is a change from the norm.
ReplyDeleteDustin - Thanks! I had high hopes for Edwin in Dodger blue. Too bad he was traded.
ReplyDeleteI thought Jackson was going to be a Dodger forever! I went and bought all kinds of his autograph cards and they traded him.
