Not only did I, it ended with an unexpected twist which I’ll explain at the bottom.
Enter: 2013 Topps David Ortiz #595 / Topps Chrome #79
Classic Papi swing, love the shades … but, I was curious about the uniform. Certainly feels like a special game, not a playoff game but something that would make this easier to find. Noting the bunting on the wall in the background, I immediately went to Opening Day from the previous year, April 13, 2012. But a quick search showed they were wearing the classic white home unis.

Hey thanks for doing that card, it is an interesting one. I have wondered about it for a long time because there are 2 other Red Sox cards (Ellsbury, Sweeney) with photos showing the Opening Day bunting but they are wearing the regular uniforms.
Sometimes that bunting indicates a World Series game, which makes for an interesting card.
