Celebrity Jersey Cards is a weekly series in which I create virtual trading cards for celebrities wearing pro jerseys. I continue my season-long march through all MLB teams.
Born in NJ, Samuel Alito grew up to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. His career started as a court clerk in the mid-70s. He joined the Supreme Court in 2006. Alito was on the field to toss a ceremonial pitch in jersey and cap at a Texas Rangers game in 2016 to earn his Celebrity Jersey Card. Can anyone identify the Texas Ranger in the pic? It does not appear to be manager Jeff Banister.
Born in Texas, Opal Lee is regarded as the Godmother of Juneteenth after leading the movement to make it a holiday. I had the pleasure of interviewing Lee, which can be found at On the Beat with Opal Lee. What a delight she was. Despite being in her 90s, she was bright, positive and full of energy. Having the opportunity to speak with Lee was truly one of the highlights of my interview career. She was honored by the Rangers to earn her Celebrity Jersey Card.
