Group Break 4: 2004 Donruss Leather & Lumber - The Final Packs!

Yep, it's time to knock out the third (of five) boxes in the group break - 2004 Donruss Leather & Lumber.  The Leather & Lumber box was awesome so far - we found five hits already including a really nice Doc Gooden signature.  Will we find a sixth hit in the final three packs?  Let's find out!

Pack 22:
15.  J.D. Drew - Braves
29.  Trot Nixon - Red Sox
72.  Kazuhisa Ishii - Dodgers
102.  Mike Mussina - Yankees
130.  Ichiro - Mariners

Nothing of note in that pack...moving along.

Pack 23:
38.  Paul Konerko - White Sox
53.  Dontrelle Willis - Marlins
95.  Bernie Williams - Yankees
105.  Eric Chavez - Athletics
FG-5.  Fans of the Game:  Jules Asner - Red Sox

The Fans of the Game cards feature various celebrities (of varying levels) and their beloved teams.  Apparently, Miss Asner (who I never heard of) is (was?) a reporter for E! Entertainment Television.

Personally, I think the Fans of the Game insert set was a not-so-clever ploy to get "pretty ladies" into a trading card set, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Pack 24: 
 1.  Bartolo Colon - Angels
18.  Cal Ripken Jr. - Orioles
43.  Ryan Wagner - Reds
123.  Ryan Klesko - Padres
LEL-17.  Leather in Lumber:  Paul O'Neil - Yankees #0136/2499

And we end the box on a nice (gasp!) Yankees' insert.  I don't like many Yankees, but I'll always respect O'Neil since he spent a bit of time with the Reds!
