Teahan was a rookie third baseman for the Royals this year who hit a nice.290.
However, he had to be moved this off season to the outfield for one of the most anticipated prospects in a long time, Alex Gordon.

He hit a nice .325 in the minors last year and is ready to make his big league debut.
Most baseball fans didn’t even hear of him until late in the season last year or until all the guides for the 2007 season came out this year.
However baseball card collectors knew his name very well due to Topps Series 1 from last March. Last year, the MLB player union made new rules regarding when a rookie card can be made. The rules are complex, and prospect cards have to be in an insert set now. Topps did this all right except for Alex Gordon. His rookie card was made, and Topps tried to pull it from the line, but some of the cards slipped out to Walmart.
Three versions actually made it in the market, a full version, a version with a hole in it, and all white with name version were all sought after and sold for thousands. Basically, they became legends.
