Not every year can be a collecting haven and 2003 is a perfect example. There were several solid rookie players from 2003 baseball cards, but none that have proven to be elite. Also, for the second time in seven seasons, the small-market Florida Marlins prevailed as MLB Champions, beating the New York Yankees.
Popular rookie players include Robinson Cano, Hideki Matsui, Ryan Howard, Hanley Ramirez, and Kevin Youkilis.
