Hail to the Champs! 2013 Boston Red Sox Rookie Cards Guide
After a nightmarish 2012, Boston shed a lot of their superstars and opted for character and clutch. It paid off in a big way, with the Red Sox going from worst to World Series Champions. In the hobby, though, it's still relatively easy to build a solid collection of Boston Red Sox rookie cards.
Names like Dustin Pedroia and Jacoby Ellsbury might not clutter common boxes, but they're hardly first-tier hobby stars outside of New England. The one exception is David Ortiz, the 2013 World Series MVP, who had a legendary postseason filled with dramatic home runs, clutch hits and tons of character.
Below is a detailed rookie card checklist for all of the key members of the World Series Champion 2013 Boston Red Sox.
