I always like this kid. He was struck me as a hard-nosed scrappy type of player. He always played to get his uniform dirty and wouldn't shy away from trying to make a tough play. Effort was something that came easy to him. I wish, sometimes, that he stayed with the Dodgers. Oh well. Since he was dealt to Chicago a couple of years back he has been more of a utility player than a starting second baseman. Hopefully, he'll find an opportunity to be a regular.
Here is a 2005 Bowman autographed card from my collection of Blake DeWitt.
Sweet card, I love DeWitt autos. Wish they had kept him around as well.
