Ryan Howard 11x14 Mini Dirt Collage

Selected in the fifth round of the 2001 draft Ryan Howard moved quickly up the Philadelphia Phillies depth chart. In a stellar rookie season in 2005 Howard hit .288 with 22 HR and 63 RBI in just 88 games good enough to win ROY honors. The Phillies had such faith in the young slugger they were willing to part ways with the legendary Jim Thome to make room for Howard at first base full time. Howard has yet to disappoint. He was named 2006 NL MVP and was instrumental in helping the Phillies capture the 2008 World Series crown.brbrThis dirt collage measures 11x14 in size displaying a 5x7 photograph descriptive nameplate and a capsule of MLB Authenticated game used dirt taken directly from the field of play.
