Once he was called up to the Reds, Elly De La Cruz has been a mainstay, making his name well known. From baseball card enthusiasts chasing Elly’s rookie card to him hitting a monster home run onto the steamboat deck, he’s here to stay. From his quick thinking base running and sliding into bases head first, he brings an energetic kid spirit to the game, and it’s good for baseball.
So if you’re chasing Elly baseball cards, keep chasing them. If you watch him with amazement, keep watching. He’s in the big leagues to stay. He’s one piece of the Big Red Machine.
Until then, see you at the park.
