Pack Break: 2008 Topps Updates & Highlights

Monday, February 1st, 2010

2008 Topps Updates & Highlights:

  1. #UH242 Raul Chavez
  2. #UH14 Bartolo Colon
  3. #UH2 Sean Casey
  4. #UH173 Randy Johnson (Highlights)
  5. #UH285 Kosuke Fukudome (All-Star)
  6. #UH222 Dave Borkowski
  7. #UH306 Casey Kotchman
  8. #UH96 Vladimir Nunez
  9. Gold Border #UH148 David Wright (All-Star) (Serial#0052/2008)
  10. Gold Foil #UH42 Chip Ambres

“Although David did not win the Monster All-Star Final Vote as the last addition to the 2008 NL All-Star Team, he was added soon after as a replacement for the injured Alfonso Soriano.  He singled and walked during the 15-inning marathon.  It was Wright’s third straight Fall Classic, including the ’06 game, when he homered in his first at-bat.”

Randy Johnson retired last month.  I’m pretty sure he will be first-ballot Hall of Famer when he becomes eligible, I think in 2016.

Also of note, I noticed the card is missing a letter… it says, “RANDY MOVES UP TO NO. 2 ON ALL-TIME K LIS”

“Though something of a surprise selection for the MLB Home Run Derby, David proved he belonged, finishing second in a hard-fought battle with the Phillies Ryan Howard.  With teammate Paul Lo Duca pitching, the Mets third baseman blasted an event-high 16 balls into PNC Park seats in the first round, two in the second, and four more in the third.“
