Random Card of the Day

Year: 2005

Set: Bowman Heritage - Mini (Rate)

Card: #176 Zack Greinke


“ In his second year, 2005, he was 5-17 with a 5.80 ERA. Since then, looks like he figured it out. ” -chvlDm
  5
“ Looks like he's busting through the wall like the Kool Aid guy. OH YEAH! ” -Id8jlb8666
  16
“ in 2005 he looked like he was eight.....he has aged .... in 2021 he looks 14....great pitcher... ” -Tmac7
  8
“ He left the Royals because he didn’t want to pitch for a rebuilding team. The Royals then won the World Series before he ever reached the World Series, and the two times his team has reached the WS they lost. ” -Tscastle

“ Definitely one of my favorite pitchers of all time. Mini cards are usually pretty boring but I do like the brick pattern in the background. ” -pugchump

“ I like the design a lot, probably because it’s so simple. Also after a promising rookie year in ‘04 he led the league in losses in ‘05, being considered a bust and being moved to the bullpen. Oh man times have changed….. ” -mkb

“ I wonder what Greinke would day if he saw this card now. ” -TwinKiller

“ Kind of a weird perspective, but I like it . I don't really "get" the brick wall . . . Is it supposed to have any significance or is it just a backdrop??? . . . ” -georgecf

“ Greinke was RCOD on 11/2 Gypsy Queen Black & White. what are the odds of the same player being pulled, 2 weeks apart, considering there are so many thousands of players across all the sports, non sports and sets? 14 million cards listed. 4 million images, Greinke has 5,023, of which 1,337 have images. I'm not a math guy any more, but I once was. I'm going to say that the odds are about 1 in 1,000 ” -abide

“ Wow Greinke looks like a 12 year old on this pitcher. 6x All-Star & Gold Glover, not too shabby! ” -tinyshogun

“ Love it.... 51 throwback. Perfect. ” -parsley24

“ The brick wall was a bad idea on this one. ” -KalamazooCollectible

“ Brick wall make card strong, like bulll. ” -domentho

“ Bowman had Heritage? ” -muskie027

“ Something about this card just seems odd and I have no idea why. ” -jdogg1228

The photo looks a bit odd and the brick wall background doesn't work.

Nice "retro" card, except I don't recall any of the original Bowmans having a brickwall background. Makes it look like he is playing in a schoolyard.

I wonder what field this is where they have put a brick wall right behind the pitcher's mound.  I guess there's no singles up the middle.

My All time favorite player i went to every home start that Cy Young season he was absolutely amazing. He was one of the first lights at the end of a long tunnel that was a Royals fan in the 90's and 00's.
