Something I learned because of this card: Bogaerts is not only a World Champion as part of the 2013 World Series winning Boston Red Sox. Two years prior, he was part of the Netherlands team that won the 2011 Baseball World Cup, which I learned, is different from the current World Baseball Classic.

This is Bogaert's fifth consecutive year as part of the Opening Day set beginning in 2014. He also had photo variations in 2014 and 2016.

Bogaerts was not a part of Series 1, but did make the cut for the Factory Team set, although with a different photo.
