Gypsy Queen Break: Box 1 - Pack 6

If you just happen to be getting up now, you should look back in my archives for a pack already posted this morning.  We are now up to pack 6 out of the box...and statistically speaking, if our box contains four hits we ought to find one by now (no relics/autos thus far).  Will this be the lucky pack?

Pack 6:
18.  Christy Mathewson - Giants
51.  Alex Rodriguez - Yankees

In a set that appears to be loaded with Yankee cards, this happens to be only the second Yankee to be pulled out of the box.  I'm not complaining about that - but The Lost Collector might since he claimed the Yanks.  Of course, we've only opened six packs - and if the last pack was any indication, the team standings can change radically in a hurry!
142.  Max Scherzer - Tigers
187.  Lance Berkman - Cardinals

Since when did Berkman hit so well?  The Cardinals must feed their players some kind of different food or something - so many "washed up" players seem to end up thriving in St. Louis.  As a Reds fan, that annoys me.
194.  Lorenzo Cain - Royals

Yahoo, the Royals are on the board now! 
284.  Jed Lowrie - Red Sox
286.  Jason Kubel - Twins
296.  Ty Cobb - Athletics
This card is going in the Oakland Athletics pile.  It's a little odd that Cobb is featured as an A, but I can't argue with the card.
Base Short print:
318.  Hank Aaron - Braves

Our first short print - and it's a great short print for Derek H.!  Nothing like getting a gorgeous card of Hammerin' Hank.  So far, the Braves have done fairly well in the break - but this card is clearly the best one in their pile at the moment.
Regular mini:
273.  Chad Billingsley - Dodgers

You know what, for a moment I thought I wasn't going to pull a Dodgers card in this pack.  That obviously shouldn't have been a worry - here's the fifth Dodger card (out of six total packs).
Checklist 4 of 4

  1. I won't complain six packs in, but let's start pulling some Yanks!
