While the big-leaguers are still playing, trying to will themselves to a championship. another title-winning team had its achievements commemorated on cardboard this past Friday night.
Not the New York Yankees or the Philadelphia Phillies. Nah, they’ve already got plenty of baseball cards and plenty more on the way.
But the 2009 Little League World Series champion Park View (Calif.) All-Stars? That’s a different story.
Upper Deck recently hosted the team for a tour of its Carlsbad, Calif., facility and on Friday night the team reunited at the San Diego Hall of Champions to receive their baseball cards and have a signing for their friends and family.
No word on whether any signed Andy Rios cards like the one above have made it to the secondary market just yet, but we’ve turned our attention away from that Bryce Harper kid (for now). We know talent — Rios went 3-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored in the title game.

Every Monday morning throughout the NFL season, we’ll select our rookie, veteran and breakout player of the week and provide a run down on why collectors should take notice. Here are our selections for NFL Week 8.
Veteran of the Week:
Chris Johnson, RB, Titans
(228 yards rushing, 2 touchdowns)
Johnson is putting up monstrous rushing numbers on a very poor team. The 228 yards on the ground he recorded Sunday vaulted Johnson into first place for the 2009 NFL rushing title. If Johnson is able to maintain this pace for the second half of the year, he’ll log nearly 1,900 yards on the season.
