Knicks’ Porzingis Among Popular First Pitch™ Insert Cards Back For 2016 Topps® Baseball

The popular First Pitch™ insert cards are back for 2016 Topps® Baseball Series 1. They depict celebrities and other notables who threw out ceremonial first pitches throughout the 2015 MLB season.

The Knicks’ Kristaps Porzingis is one of several players featured whose pitches came at CitiField last year, a list which also includes Abby Wambach, Gabrielle Giffords and Victor Espinoza.

Last year’s debut of the First Pitch inserts found baseball fans chasing their favorite celebrities’ cards.

The First Pitch cards record noteworthy moments for posterity and document great moments in baseball.

This year’s list of First Pitch cards includes 20 names with another set of notables coming in 2016 Topps Baseball Series 2 this summer.
