  50. Attax Code Card #JL Jon Lester

Got a Chad Billingsley autograph.  I don’t collect him, but it could have been much worse.  Billingsley is actually a pretty good starting pitcher and an All-Star last year.  He’s only 25 so there’s still a lot of potential left for him.

Some of the other pack highlights:

Chicago’s beloved infielder:

MLB 2010 The Show predicts that Buster Posey will have a breakout season in 2011 and win the batting title.  He was doing so well in the game simulation in fact, that I traded Stephen Strasburg to get him on the Nationals and never regretted it!

Pretty cool to put side-by-side shots of Schmidt and Rodriguez at the same point in their throwing motion:

I kind of doubt that the picture on the card actually shows Mel Ott in his 1st World Series at-bat:

And my Topps Million Card Lottery Redemption:

1970 Topps #395 Walt Williams

That’s an awesome shot just begging for a caption.  You know, his nickname was “No Neck” and you can kind of see why in the picture.
