Pack Break: 2009 Topps Updates & Highlights

Monday, February 6th, 2012

“Ironically, it was losing that made Mauer a Twin; these days, it’s Mauer who’s making the Twins a winner.  Minnesota drafted him first overall in 2001 because of its 69-93 record, but they’ve averaged almost 90 victories a year since.  Joe has led the parade of “Ws’ with multiple batting titles, expert handling of pitchers and, in ’09, a dramatic power surge.”

  1. #UH210 Jason Vargas
  2. #UH226 Kevin Hart
  3. #UH217 Craig Stammen (Rookie Card)
  4. #UH292 Yuniesky Betancourt
