Year: 2004
Set: Bowman - Gold (Rate)
Card: #321 Chad Chop
“ I looked up Chad Chop thinking that he had a cool name and I always love looking up minor league players. This one did not disappoint. One of the more interesting stories I have found. Chad started off great, making a minor league All-Star team in one of his first seasons but his production fizzled and he was dropped after just a few years in the minors. He retired and went to work as a fireman and opened a baseball academy. It did well and he sold it and started a new one in California, where he became friends with Hunter Pence, who brought him along to spring training with the Giants and he did so well the Giants they brought him on their staff and he became their video replay analyst. He spent several years with the Giants including reversing a call to help them in Game 7 of the 2014 World Series. As of 2018 he was no longer with the Giants and seems to be back coaching youth sports. ” -davidhandberry

“ Back when you could identify a gold parallel very easily. Ah early 2000s Bowman they all look the same. Love this guy's name CHAD CHOP. Someone who has a list of funny names should put this on it. ” -captkirk42
“ This card is simple. Not a big fan of the color choice for the border. Hopefully the background in the other cards is better than this bland brick wall. The foil stamping blends in with the color of the card too much. That said, you must give extra credit to Chad Chop. The name alone is worth 3 points. ” -coreymacleod
“ Nice name bro ” -Paullilko
“ Weird creepy photo. Kind of a dissappointing card. Lack of pop. ” -parsley24
“ I've never heard of anyone named Chop before. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ I love all expos cards. I love the idea of the teams of the past. I collect baseball cards and so does one of my friends. I showed him the card and his first thought was “Who in the world does this guy play for”. ” -ethan2934
“ How many hits could Chad Chop chop if Chad Chop could chop hits? Answer: You have to do your own math because the card only lists average and at bats. ” -vanstryland
“ This one is pretty boring. ” -muskie027
