Some Super Red Hot Rookie Came In..

Hey guys, Drew back here. Yesterday I got a mini package from "Tristar", which apparently is Topps' undercover corporation that produces redemptions, missing hits, NPNs, and damaged cards. I got this red hot rookie redemption in my jumbo box of 2010 Topps Series 2, which was for the 3rd card in the set. This card happened to be...

of Tigers rookie outfielder Brennan Boesch. I had Brennan on my fantasy team for a majority of last season and I was really impressed, even though his stats went down as the season progressed. Overall he hit a poor .256, but he had a monster May and June, batting in the upper .330's and hitting 11 home runs. For a rookie, I was extremely impressed, and I hope he's not a one year wonder!

The card looks fantastic, better than any of the past Red Hot Rookie cards. This year they actually added a refractor touch, and the chrome cards also don't have a bend to them! I was extremely impressed when I opened this package, and I probably will keep this!

Did you get your redemption? What did you think?

See Ya!

WAT Winner is...

Hey guys, Drew back here. This morning I found out about the winner of our worst autograph tournament, so I figured a final post would be good to make it official. Jason Jennings took home first prize while Vernand Morency fell just a bit short. So congrats Jason Jennings, Your auto sucks! Thanks again to all who helped me out with the tournament, Chris, Mike, and Jordan, great job! And after months of voting, Jason Jennings has indeed the worst autograph as voted by you the fans!

Tomorrow I'm going to the Yankees game, the first one for me this year. Andy Pettitte is going up against David Price, so that means a low scoring and very interesting one to come! I don't go to many Yankee games, usually 1 a year, so I cherish the game and it's always a blast. If you may remember last year, I went to Old Timers Day, and I opened 2 packs of 2009 Allen & Ginter for Gint-A-Cuffs while I was there. My dad also gave me a Ron Guidry autograph, my 1st of now 2 Guidry autos in my collection. So we hope to see the museum and maybe even Monument Park, and it should be fun. I'll definitely have more to come after the game!

One last thing, Bill Lee is now absolutely one of THE MOST rude Americans I know. Here is proof, what a jerk:

Ok, we need to end this post on a good note, I found out who my Red Hot Rookie is this year, unfortunately it's not Strasburg, but it was a deserving All Star!

I haven't redeemed it yet but I will soon. See Ya!
