📣 DAD’S TAKEON JOHN ROONEY
A rookie autograph for a guy who threw 1.1 innings before elbow surgery ended his season. Topps Chrome keeps cranking out rookie autos for every September call-up who gets a cup of coffee, and now you've got a shiny signature of a reliever who bounced from the Dodgers to Miami to Houston to Tampa Bay before most collectors even learned his name. At least the Refractor finish makes it sparkle while you wonder if he'll ever pitch again.
ABOUT JOHN ROONEY
John Rooney, a native of Melrose, New York, was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the third round (104th overall) in the 2018 draft out of Hofstra University. As a high school player, the left-handed Rooney led Hoosic Valley to state championships in 2014 and 2015. He spent six seasons in Los Angeles' system and owns a 3.85 ERA in seven minor-league seasons, including a 3.57 ERA in 115 games at Triple-A. Rooney was traded from the Miami Marlins to the Houston Astros in August 2025, and made his MLB debut on August 24, 2025, at age 28, tossing 1.1 innings and striking out two batters.
The collection features a 2026 Topps Chrome Rookie Autograph Refractor of the left-handed reliever in his Astros uniform. Rooney had elbow surgery in September 2025, cutting his season short, and elected free agency in November before signing a minor-league contract with Tampa Bay. The Chrome autograph captures him during his brief but memorable Astros tenure.
