2005 Topps Series 2:

1. #542 Milton Bradley
2. #427 Matt Morris
3. #431 Mark Kotsay
4. #451 Jorge Posada
5. #702 Ichiro (Gold Glove)
6. All-Stars #TAS8 Alfonso Soriano
7. #675 Erik Cordier (Draft Pick) (First Year) (Rookie)
8. #475 Jose Lima
9. #418 Terrmel Sledge (Topps All-Star Rookie)
10. #605 Moises Alou

“Soriano first achieved fame with the Yankees, but it was not until after he joined the Rangers in 2004 that he attained All-Star fame.  He justified the MLB-leading 3.47 million fan votes he received by clubbing a three-run homer in the first inning (then added a single later) to walk away with All-Star Game MVP honors.  He also started the contest and homered in ’02, and started in ’03.”

With 7 All-Star appearances under his belt, Alfonso Soriano has played in more All-Star Games than Jose Canseco.  He is just one home run shy of 300.  Maybe he’ll hit number 300 tonight?

2007 Topps Red Back #176 Alfonso Soriano/Carlos Beltran (Classic Combo)

2007 Topps series 1:

1. #187 Matt Cain
2. #159 Jason Michaels

4. #128 Damian Miller
5. Own the Game #OTG25 Roy Halladay

7. Red Back #255 Brad Penny
8. Red Back #176 Alfonso Soriano/Carlos Beltran (Classic Combo)
9. #36 Gregg Zaun

I don’t really understand how these two make a “classic combo”, but it’s got former Washington National Alfonso Soriano in it.
