First Pitch inserts return for 2016 Topps Series 1 Baseball

One of the more unique and attention grabbing cards to come out of last year were the First Pitch inserts in 2015 Topps Baseball. The 15-card set captured ceremonial first pitches thrown by various celebrities during the 2014 MLB season. Last year’s set in 2015 Series 1 Baseball included the likes of Eddie Vedder, Jeff Bridges and Jack White with an additional set produced for Series 2.

Topps is revisiting the concept with a 20-card First Pitch insert set in 2016 Series 1 Baseball. This year’s set features a wide range of personalities to throw out first pitches at MLB games during 2015. The checklist includes celebrities (James Taylor, LeVar Burton, Carrie Brownstein), athletes from other sports (Abby Wambach, Kristaps Porzingis, Jordan Spieth) and even 108-year-old Evelyn Jones who became the oldest person to throw out a first pitch at MLB game last year at Safeco Field in Seattle.
