Pack Break: 1996 Topps Series 1

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

1996 Topps Series 1:

  1. #60 David Justice
  2. #13 Todd Helton (Draft Pick)
  3. #40 Orel Hershiser
  4. #80 Gary Sheffield
  5. #197 Roger Clemens
  6. #70 Ron Gant
  7. #150 Randy Johnson
  8. #33 Mike Macfarlane
  9. #181 Denny Martinez
  10. #61 Royce Clayton
  11. #91 Troy O’Leary
  12. #91 Troy O’Leary

Roger had a chance meeting with President Clinton — the third president he’s met — at Arlington Cemetery last June

Since then, Clemens has also met President George W. Bush.  All of his presidential connections hasn’t helped him though, as Clemens is expected to stand federal trial for perjury next spring.

Pack Break: 1993 Topps Series 2

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

1993 Topps Series 2:

  1. #738 Lance Painter
  2. #434 Jack Armstrong
  3. #412 Jamie McAndrew
  4. #516 Alex Arias
  5. #409 Greg Maddux/Roger Clemens (All-Stars)
  6. Gold #428 Todd Zeile
  7. #698 Ted Wood
  8. #628 Kelly Gruber
  9. #724 Guillermo Velasquez
  10. #498 Bud Black
  11. #651 Rafael Bournigal
  12. #539 Kerry Woodson
  13. #751 Eric Hillman
  14. #602 Henry Mercedes
  15. #725 Billy Hatcher

Maddux vs. Clemens at the 1992 All-Star break looks like a pretty even match-up.  Maddux was 10-8 with a 2.40 ERA and 106 SO, while Clemens was 9-6 with a 2.31 ERA and 120 SO.  While it might look like Clemens has the upper hand according to those numbers, Maddux pitched a couple more innings than Clemens but gave up 11 fewer hits.

Pack Break: 2008 Topps Series 1

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

2008 Topps Series 1:

  1. #105 Roger Clemens
  2. #207 Jeff Kent
  3. #65 Billy Wagner
  4. #69 Bobby Cox (Manager)
  5. #203 Jason Tyner
  6. #133 Mike Bacsik
  7. Gold Border #184 Tadahito Iguchi (Serial#1792/2008)
  8. #75 Felix Hernandez
  9. #240 Jim Thome
  10. #292 Mark Loretta

Acquired in July when star Chase Utley got hurt, Tadahito was a savior for the 2007 Phillies, contributing a little of everything — including errorless play in his 31 games at second base.  Moving to the bench when Utley returned was typically unselfish.  ”The Phillies had a need,” Iguchi says.  ”I think I fulfilled that need at the time.”

After 4 years of playing in the American Major Leagues, Tadahito is back in Japan and still playing.

I think this is Roger Clemens’ last Topps card:
