2021 Chachi #59

Kyle Gibson will hopefully solidify the Phillies starting pitching rotation for the remainder of the 2021 season and for all of 2022.  He's won at least 10 games in five different seasons with the Twins and Rangers, and Gibson was named to his first All-Star team this year.  He assumed his usual uniform number (#44) upon joining the Phillies and if outfielder Matt Vierling comes back up from the IronPigs this season, he'll need a new number.

Good morning Jim:

This is random. I recently read your post on Russell Branyan. I am writing a book about lesser known Phillies and have a chapter devoted to him. I have the 2008 Topps Year in Review Russell Branyan #YR134. Do you need it for your collection? I'd be happy to send it to you. Nothing in return. People helping people, etc, etc.

Hi Dave. Thank you so much, and I actually tracked down that card shortly after composing my post on Branyan. Please let me know when your book comes out, as lesser known Phillies has always been a favorite subject of mine. Thanks again!
