Amazing Race: Mr Nicky Getz, Chris Getz (2008 Bowman Draft Picks and Prospects #BDPP81)

Tonight we take a break from our playoff postings and take a look at the latest edition of "the Amazing Race". Last week we took a look at David DeJesus, the Husband of Kim DeJesus who is competing on the show. Kim's teammate is Nicky Getz wife of ballplayer Chris Getz   

2008 Bowman Draft Picks and Prospects #BDPP81

Each year the Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects set has a subset dedicated to the Futures Game.  Chris Getz was involved in the game played as part of the 2008 All-Star Festivities in New York's "old" Yankee Stadium during it's final season. The photo on this card is from that game.  Chris Getz started at second base in that game and went 0-2.

Chris Getz got to the majors with the White Sox later in the 2008 season. He has since been traded to the Royals, this season had a mediocre hitting year for the Kansas City ball club, but was important as a defensive replacement at second base.

2008 Topps Heritage #91 David DeJesus

David DeJesus has been on the move a lot lately, He was traded from the Cubs to the Nationals and then to the Rays all in a period of a week.  This turned out to be a very good week for DeJesus, He went from a struggling team to a potential postseason squad, then to a team that is a win away from being a playoff team.

Steve Smith
Three years ago former Phillies 3rd Base coach Steve Smith was featured on the Amazing Race with his daughter, Allie. The Greatest 21 Days covered Smith's race in this column.
