Kevin Millwood Autographed 2000 Topps #222 Atlanta Braves Card

Featuring Kevin Millwood with the Atlanta Braves, this Kevin Millwood autographed 2000 Topps #222 Atlanta Braves card showcases the talented right-handed pitcher during one of the most successful periods in Atlanta Braves history.

The Braves selected Millwood in the 11th round of the 1993 MLB Draft. After developing through Atlanta's minor league system, he made his Major League debut in 1997, joining a pitching staff featuring future Hall of Famers Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz.

Millwood quickly emerged as another dependable starter in Atlanta's outstanding rotation. During the 1998 season, he recorded 17 victories, helping the Braves capture the National League East championship and advance to the National League Championship Series.

His breakthrough came in 1999, when he compiled an impressive 18-7 record with a 2.68 ERA and 205 strikeouts. His outstanding performance earned him his first and only National League All-Star selection and a third-place finish in the National League Cy Young Award voting.

Millwood's contributions helped Atlanta capture the 1999 National League pennant and advance to the World Series against the New York Yankees. His success gave the Braves another formidable starting pitcher alongside their established veteran stars.

The 2000 Topps #222 features Millwood following his outstanding 1999 campaign, making it an appealing issue from the early prime of his Major League career. He remained a key member of Atlanta's rotation as the Braves continued their remarkable run of National League East championships.

Following the 2002 season, Millwood was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies, where he produced one of the defining moments of his career. On April 27, 2003, he threw a no-hitter against the San Francisco Giants, leading Philadelphia to a 1-0 victory at Veterans Stadium.

Millwood continued enjoying success with several Major League organizations. In 2005, while pitching for the Cleveland Indians, he led the American League with a 2.86 ERA, demonstrating his effectiveness against some of baseball's most challenging hitters.

In 2012, Millwood also participated in a combined no-hitter with the Seattle Mariners against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He pitched six hitless innings before leaving with an injury, and five Seattle relievers completed the historic performance.

Over 16 Major League seasons, Millwood recorded 169 victories and 2,083 strikeouts while pitching for the Braves, Phillies, Indians, Rangers, Orioles, Rockies and Mariners. His accomplishments included an All-Star selection, an American League ERA title and involvement in two Major League no-hitters.

The 2000 Topps #222 is an appealing addition for Atlanta Braves collectors, Kevin Millwood fans, 1999 National League championship memorabilia enthusiasts, no-hitter collections or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
