2023 National Paid Signer - Scott Rolen

The next paid signer I got at the National added the 170th Hall of Famer on a ball to my collection.  Scott Rolen was recently inducted to the Hall, so when he was added to the autograph lineup, I went ahead and crossed him off of my list.

Rolen (b. 1975) played in the majors from 1996 to 2012 for the Phillies, Cardinals, Blue Jays and Reds.  He had 2,077 hits, 316 home runs and a .281 batting average.  He was a 7-time All Star (2002 through 2006, 2010.and 2011) and an 8-time Gold Glove Award winner.  He was the 1997 NL Rookie of the Year.  He won the World Series in 2006 with the Cardinals.  

Rolen was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2023, on his 6th ballot with 76.3% of the vote.
