It's that time of year again, when Baseball collectors start to wonder, who will be honored with a Topps All-Star Rookie trophy in their 2014 Baseball card set?
Since 1959, Topps has commemorated the best young stars at each position with the symbol of a trophy emblazoned on the following years Topps cards. You can see the two examples of that trophy at the very top. The trophy on the left was used from 1960 to 1972, and the trophy cup on the right was used thereafter. This honor has been bestowed on some of the games greatest; from Willie McCovey to Johnny Bench, from Gary Carter to Ozzie Smith, from Cal Ripken Jr. to Ichiro Suzuki.
This year, two Dodgers made the cut, and they are not surprising choices.
