Two of these cards particularly stand out for me. One, is the menacing
look of Kirk Gibson at the plate. This was more than likely the look Dennis
Eckersley faced in game 1 of the 1988 World Series. In his only plate
appearance of the series, Gibson currently the Diamondbacks manager, nailed
Eckersley’s 3-2 offering into the right field stands. He then gimped around the
bases with his strained left hamstring and injured right knee, pumping his fist
into the air.
Clay Buchholz – Red Sox
Melky Cabrera – Giants
Felix Hernandez – Mariners
Jose Valverde- Tigers.
I kind of like the intense reaction exhibited by Jose Valverde. He must be happy about something!
Well, there's now four packs down and five to go (Remember, I'm not about to touch that Pete Rose pack). Tommorrow we'll tear open the two packs of 2012 Topps Opening Day.
