This is Myers' fourth year in the Opening Day set and fifth card overall as he doubled up with a short print photo variation in 2016.

The same photo was used for both the Series 1 and Padres Factory Team Set card, but he did have one of the workout/batting practice short print variations in Series 1 as well.

Something I learned because of this card: My American League knowledge is straight up so bad that I forgot he was the 2013 AL Rookie of the Year. That's one of the reasons I like doing this blog and giving each card some individual attention. I was also reminded that he hit for the cycle in April of 2017. I would have thought he'd have more All-Star selections under his belt, but first base is stacked in the National League .
