What is this? An autograph card from the 2005 Topps set.
Where'd I get it? In person before a Bears game last season.
How much did it cost? The card cost around 50 cents.
Why is this so special? D'Angelo played 8 years in the major leagues, starting with the Yankees in 1999. Throughout his career, he played for 7 different big league teams; the Yankees, Padres, White Sox, Reds, Rangers, A's, and Nationals. He had a career batting average of .263, with 568 hits, 228 RBIs, and 36 home runs.
Last season was his first season in the Atlantic League. He played in 38 games for Newark, batting .326 while collecting 47 hits.
D'Angelo's signature used to be longer and more detailed, but it is understandable that he shortened it. He has probably signed thousands of autographs in his career. He has an interesting way of signing the D in his first name, but I like his signature because it's short and recognizable.
