Nice to see Lombo make it for the Nats – overlooked by many, but not by Topps. Scrappy hitter with some surprising pop was just another reason Nats had such a nice year.
Ryan,
Nineteen players who were named to Topps’ All-Star Rookie team have been inducted into Baseball’s Hall of Fame, the most recent being Ron Santo.
Sincerely,
