Just a Pack

I had one of those days where I just needed to open a pack of cards. It is always a nice distraction from the daily grind.  Time to hit the emergency stash. 

Today I dug out a pack of 2008 Bowman.  That doesn't seem like that long ago, but holy shit 9 years! You could definitely sense the time gap from the base cards. 

This was a cool card to start things off with. Zippy would be proud that I showed this one off first. 

 See what I mean about 2008 being a long time ago.  Markakis is the only one seeing regular playing time out of the bunch.  I read that Crawford is trying to get back on a roster, but I have a feeling he might be done too.

Poor Jeremy Bonderman was on some really bad Tigers teams. He did manage to carve out a career pitching in parts of 9 seasons.

I definitely didn't do well with the 1st year cards. Without looking I would say the ship has sailed for all these guys.

Big 12 tournament time.  Let's Go Mountaineers!

Thanks for reading.
