Pitch good, get a custom card. That’s the way this works. A rare good start for a Royals pitcher warrants another 1988 Topps custom card.
Kansas City Royals Major League Debut: Ryan Verdugo Leave a comment
Ryan Verdugo made his major league debut on July 17th, 2012 and was one of the worst debut’s in recent memory. He was thrown into the mix as a starting pitcher the Royals officially punted his trade-mate Jonathan Sanchez and ultimately traded him. So Verdugo may have been thrown in a little prematuraly partly because Sanchez pitched so badly and he had to fill in. The Royals may have also felt pressure to prove they didn’t get nothing in return for Melky Cabrera.
He threw just 1 2/3 innings while giving up 6 runs on 8 hits, so yes, more runs given up than outs recorded.

2012 Spring Training Royals: Aaron Crow Leave a comment
As much as I would like Aaron Crow to be the dominant pitcher he was in the first half of last year, there just aren’t many signs of it. He hasn’t been the same since the “baulk-off” against the White Sox last year. Opening Day did not go well for him this year and if he doesn’t turn things around in his next 4-5 outings we will be seeing him pitch in Omaha.
