The 30-Day Baseball Card Challenge - Day 20

"Your favorite parallel card based on the parallel, not the player."

2014 Topps Chrome Jason Grilli #208 X-fractor parallel - I don't collect parallels, where I to try and complete an entire set of them, but I like these 'checkerboard' finish refractors since the cards stand out more the basic refractors, while still being relatively easy pulls / finds.

Jason Grilli

I thought Grilli was a journeyman who was out of baseball years ago - but he's actually pitched with the Pittsburgh Pirates for parts of the last four seasons until being traded to the Angels.

An All-Star last year, he struck out out 164 batters in 108.2 innings combined in 2012 and 2013 - hopefully he still has some juice in his right arm to help the Angels in the later innings whether as a set-up man or a guy that can close out some games.
