Pack Break: 2008 UD Masterpieces Baseball (Retail)

One retail pack of '08 Upper Deck Masterpieces. Four cards per pack at $2.99, straight from Target to the blog:

36 - Miguel Cabrera

Reverse text:

After spending five star studded seasons with the Marlins, Cabrera made his much-anticipated debut with the Tigers on Opening Day 2008 (3/31), and he immediately responded with a big fly in Detroit.





8 - Jim Palmer

Reverse text:

Making his first Fall Classic start at the age of just 20 in 1966, Palmer didn't display signs of nerves in Game 2 as he had a complete-game 6-0 shutout against the Dodgers. Baltimore went on to a World Series title sweep that year.



51 - Justin Morneau

Reverse text:

With Joe Mauer taking home the AL batting title in 2006, Morneau was just as impressive on the year with the first baseman posting a .559 slugging percentage with 37 doubles and winning the Most Valuable Player Award.





37 - Hanley Ramirez

Reverse text:

Ramirez continued to excel throughout 2007 as he clubbed a career-high 29 roundtrippers with 81 RBI, and the native of the Dominican Republic provided an assist to the Marlins by suiting up for 151 games at shortstop.




Yankee Stadium Legacy, Game 2938 - Yogi Berra

Reverse text:

Berra not only appeared in a record 14 different Fall Classics but also played in the most World Series games (75) and has the most World Series hits (71). Twelve of those hits were Hrs, which also helped him accumulate 41 runs and 39 RBI.





It's always nice getting the bonus of a Yankee Stadium Legacy card. Four cards down, 116 to go!

That's all I got...

If you're not collecting the YSL cards, I'll trade you for that Berra against the White Sox.

I kind of am collecting them, but I'm sure I could part with one seeing as I'll never finish the set. It's all yours.
