Upper Deck Reveals Second SPx Baseball Mystery Redemption



Dodgers hurler Clayton Kershaw makes his debut in SPx



North Las Vegas, NV (June 10, 2008) – Los Angles Dodgers Manager Joe Torre and the entire Dodger organization have high hopes for up-and-coming southpaw Clayton Kershaw. Upper Deck recently reached an autograph agreement with the young left-hander and has added him to its 2008 SPx Baseball set through the mystery rookie redemption program. Kershaw will be card #151 in the set or “RR6” for the redemption. Every SPx Baseball mystery rookie redemption card will be autographed.



“Clayton Kershaw has a tremendous amount of upside,” said Steven Judd, Upper Deck’s Baseball product manager. “He elevated his game quickly to make it to the big leagues and collectors should be excited about his future. Playing for a big-market, storied-franchise team like the Dodgers could catapult him to unbelievable heights in the hobby provided he performs at the level people are expecting.”



Upper Deck will announce every week a new rookie redemption player until all seven players have been revealed. Kershaw joins Jay Bruce of Cincinnati (card #146 or RR1) as the first two rookies to be announced in this program. Upper Deck’s 2008 SPX Baseball is available now at hobby stores (SRP $19.99).
