WSC Birth Years: Daniel Hudson

Card #22 - Daniel Hudson

Born: March 9, 1987

Daniel made an interesting MLB debut on September 4, 2009. He hit the first batter he saw... on the foot. Call it nerves, or whatever you like, but after that, Daniel pitched two scoreless innings and did not allow another base runner.

Hudson is another player from the successful 2008 draft to make his debut in 2009. This showcases both the composition of the players and the much needed improvements to the scouting system. Look for Daniel Hudson to make a big impact in the next few years.

Great card, as usual! Gotta ask - what font is that? You helped me with the font for the '70 Topps cards, and I've always had similar problems when trying to re-create the font for the '87 Topps set.

The font is called Franciscan. You have to do some slight manipulation with the font to make it look right because it does not come in a bold option.
