A TCDB Surprise Card from mpdillard25!

Group Break: 2004 Cracker Jack - Packs 11, 12, 13, and 14

The second group break of the new year is beginning to wrap up.  At this point, we are on the second half of each of the boxes - and we've already found 13 different hits!  Let's see if we can up that total with another four packs of Cracker Jacks.

Pack 11:
Pie - Cubs
Comiskey - White Sox

Delgado - Blue Jays
Guiel - Royals
Nix - Rangers
Matos - Orioles
Buehrle - White Sox
Mini:  Bonderman - Tigers
Sticker suprise:  Guzman - Twins

I like the Comiskey card quite a bit, certainly enough to give this pack to the White Sox since they also picked up a Buehrle base card to along with it.

Pack 12:
Martinez - Indians
Nomo - Dodgers
Radke - Twins
Guzman - Twins

Castillo - Marlins
Hoblitzell - Reds
Hudson - Athletics
Mini:  Byrd - Phillies
Secret sticker:  Sheffield - Yankees

Thanks to a pair of base cards (plus underwhelming inserts), the Twins pick up their first pack win of the break.  At this point, only the Tigers, Angels, Brewers, Athletics, and Padres are without at least one pack win.  On the flip side, the Red Sox have six pack wins while the Braves have five.

Pack 13:
Reyes - Rockies
Sizemore - Indians
Jenks - Angels
Blalock - Rangers
Loaiza - White Sox
Chavez - Athletics
Blake - Indians

Hill - Blue Jays
Mini:  Vina - Tigers
Surprise sticker:  Castillo - Marlins

A pair of Indians means Cleveland takes the pack.  So far, besides the one Albert Pujols relic, the secret surprise packs have been severely underwhelming.  I guess when you pull a Pujols relic though you ought to be happy, huh?

Pack 14:
Schmidt - Giants
Wood - Cubs
Ortiz - Braves
Oswalt - Astros
Gonzalez - Diamondbacks
Griffey Jr. - Reds

Beltre - Dodgers
Mini:  Mauer - Twins

Secret sticker:  Hawksworth - Cardinals

I happen to like the Griffey Jr. card the best, but I'll give the pack win to the Twins since the mini Mauer is also quite nice!  Either way, I win since I have both the Reds and the Twins in this break (neither of which have a yet though by the way)...
