This is a sweet move by Tony Buehler.
Buehler's dad, Tony, recently messaged a card seller that he has collected thousands of cards of his son throughout the right-hander's MLB career.
"This is Walker's dad, Tony. doesn't collect his own cards, but someday he will get all 14,000+ that I have collected since he was drafted in 2015," he said in a message on social media.Buehler, a first-round pick by Los Angeles in 2015, debuted in '17 and quickly emerged as a star in the Dodgers' rotation. Sporting a career 3.
However, Buehler has struggled since undergoing his second Tommy John surgery in August 2022. After missing the entire 2023 campaign, Buehler returned to the bump May 6 and has registered a 1–4 record and 6.09 ERA in 10 starts this season. No matter what's ahead for the right-handed pitcher, Buehler will have a massive haul of baseball cards waiting for him once he calls it a career. Hopefully he invests in a large storage unit by then.Tom Dierberger is a staff writer and editor on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
