Kansas City Royals’ star shortstop, Bobby Witt Jr., has found a charming and innovative way to blend his love for baseball with the excitement of his upcoming wedding. The professional athlete and avid collector dazzled his teammates by using custom baseball cards to invite them to be groomsmen for his special day. One of the fortunate recipients of this delightful invitation was his teammate, MJ Melendez, who couldn’t resist sharing the joy online.
In a heartwarming gesture that delighted fans and followers, on October 29, the card shop Pullwax posted a video showcasing Melendez as he revealed the extraordinary card. Displayed in a PSA 10 slab, the “Topps Bobby Witt Jr. Groomsman Card” was adorned with a photo capturing a celebratory moment between the two players during a 2022 game. With the certification number confirming the existence of only two such cards, this piece of memorabilia instantly became a coveted and rare gem among collectors.
Adding a personal touch to the invite, the back of the card featured a touching message penned by Witt himself:
“I couldn’t think of a better way to send groomsman invitations than by using custom baseball cards. It would be an honor for you to be by my side on my wedding day. It wouldn’t feel right without you there. Consider this the official invite!
– B Witter”
This thoughtful and personalized approach not only added a unique twist to the traditional wedding invitation but also perfectly echoed Witt’s deep-rooted passion for baseball and collecting, making it a moment to cherish for the invitees.
Amidst the preparations for his wedding, Bobby Witt Jr. celebrated a significant milestone in his career by clinching his first Silver Slugger Award just a month before the big day. The 24-year-old’s exceptional accomplishments on the field have made this year truly unforgettable for the Kansas City Royals’ rising star, showcasing his prowess both on and off the field.
By ingeniously using custom baseball cards for his groomsman invitations, Bobby Witt Jr. has once again demonstrated that his love for the game transcends beyond the diamond, infusing every aspect of his life with the same passion and creativity that define him as a player and a person.
