Baseball Cards Daily: #cardSTOCK – Byron Buxton, Minnesota Twins – It took time for Buxton to develop into the star the Twins projected when they took him with the second pick in 2012. Now, he’s shining and on the rise! Despite not winning a World Series since 1991, fans in Minnesota are loyal. The 24-year-old Buxton is the face of hope for the Twins and their fans. Playing in a small market doesn’t necessarily help Buxton’s mass appeal, but his exciting style of play and skill set are enough to keep collectors interested.

It all started in 1986 for Chris when his mom brought home a pack of Topps baseball cards. From that day on he was hooked. Sports cards and sports became a life-long passion. At the age of 12 through his high school years, Chris worked in card stores and got an early, inside look at the sports cards industry. Chris’ early passion for sports cards turned into a career in sports and marketing. During his 18-year career in sports media, Chris served as a sports writer covering the Philadelphia Flyers for TheFourthPeriod.com, NFL Draft Analyst for multiple media outlets such as Scout.com, Fox Sports, CBS Sports, NFL Draft Scout, Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services, NBC Sports Philadelphia and PhiladelphiaEagles.com, and Sports Talk Show host for 97.5 The Fanatic in Philadelphia. His career in sports media propelled him into the position of Director of Player Personnel in the Arena Football League, which he held with three organizations. In conjunction with his career in sports, Chris has been a marketing professional and graphic designer for the past 19 years. A native Philadelphian, Chris currently resides in Tampa, FL.
