Bee specialist who saved Diamondbacks game getting a trading card; team makes ticket offer
View Date:2024-12-23 15:00:29
The bee specialist who saved the Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Los Angeles Dodgers game on Tuesday night is getting his own baseball card.
Topps announced that Matt Hilton signed a deal with the collectible trading card company after safely removing a swarm of bees above home plate at Chase Field before the Diamondbacks' walk-off win against the Dodgers.
Hilton, who drove 45 minutes from his son's T-ball game in Surprise to remove the bees, has been the subject of social media adoration.
The bee specialist was rewarded for his "all-time great performance" by throwing out the first pitch before the start of the delayed game and is now immortalized with a sports card.
One card, which can be purchased on the Topps website, can be purchased for $8.99. And if you're lucky, you may receive a card autographed by Hilton.
