2001 Topps, Mike Mussina

Card No. 562

This might be my favorite card of Hall of Famer Mike Mussina....It's nothing fancy, but just a nice, clean photograph of the right-hander...."Moose" authored 270 wins during his 18-year career....This is the second Moose we've featured on the Jukebox...Mussina, who signed with the Yankees after the 2000 season, actually has two cards in the '01 set....This one is from Series 2 and it's his first in a N.Y. uniform....His first regular Topps card appeared in the '92 set....Won 17 games and finished 5th in A.L. Cy Young voting in '01 for the Yanks.

2001 Topps, Chad Curtis

Card No. 540

If you ever witnessed a game featuring Chad Curtis in center field, chances are you saw him literally flip heels over head on a throw to the plate....2001 marked the eighth-straight year Curtis was featured in the Topps flagship set....It's also his next-to-last Topps card....Chad's rookie can be found in the 1992 Topps Traded set....Logged just 115 at-bats over 38 games for Texas in '01--his final year in the Majors.
