Pack no. 2 of my eventual set completion of 2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces. I'm a junkie for this stuff.
Here we go:

78 - Barry Zito
Reverse text:
With a Cy Young Award and three MLB All-Star Game selections on his side entering 2007, Zito was an obvious choice to become the third pitcher in Giants history to make his first start with the squad on Opening Day.I was pretty scared to see Zito join the NL 'Worst' in 2007, but his first year with the team was less than stellar. It's unfortunate to see an individual with such great talent fall off like Zito did. The curveball he had in 2006 was absolutely disgusting.

9 - Brooks Robinson
Reverse text:
The honors piled up for Robinson during the 1966 campaign as he was named the MLB All-Star Game MVP, earned a Gold Glove Award and was also the recipient of the prestigious Lou Gehrig Memorial Award.I grew up an Orioles fan and to pull Baltimore greats like Brooks Robinson and Jim Palmer in back-to-back packs is fine by me. Keep 'em comin'!

38 - Lance Berkman
Reverse text:
It's extremely common for Astros fans to witness Berkman jogging around the bases on his way to home plate. After all, the first baseman had 259 HRs through 2007 - the third highest total in Astros history..jpg)
30 - Matt Holliday
Reverse text:
There wasn't much the opposition could do against Holliday from 9/9-9/20/2007 as with his 11 roundtrippers in that 12-game span he joined Alex Rodriguez as the only other player to have that many HRs in 12 games.I wrote a little bit about this card on Thursday when paying homage to 'Big Daddy.'
8 down, 112 to go! Love this stuff.
That's all I got...
