Well yesterday’s pack was not too bad. I am fully waiting for the hammer to drop and to serve me up a pack of doubles. Actually I am waiting for a few of those packs. We are at 133 cards left, and I am extrememly nervous that we won’t break the 100 card barrier. I think I will offer a one for one swap of 1986 cards. Completely picked at random, containing stars and I think I’ll throw in an insert or rookie card. I have had a lot of offers, I will post a need list on Sunday (with one pack left). Like I said though, hopefully we will average 7 cards per pack and get there, but who knows. So here we are with pack 68.
1. A’s Leaders – 216 – The Dean of the A’s was Dwayne Murphy. The offensive leaders were Alfredo Griffen and Dave Kingman. The pitching leaders were Chris Codiroli and Jay Howell.
2. Reds Leaders – 366 – Double, first reviewed in pack 52.
3. Eric Davis – OF – Reds – 28 – Double, first reviewed in pack 43.
4. Dick Ruthven – P – Cubs – 98 – Double, first reviewed in pack 18.
5. Mike Scioscia – C – Dodgers – 468 – Double, first reviewed in pack 18.
6. Danny Heep – OF/1B – Mets – 619 – Double, first reviewed in pack 4.
7. Dick Schofield – SS – Angels – 311 – Double, first reviewed in pack 25.
8. Doyle Alexander – P – Blue Jays – 196 – Double, first reviewed in pack 14.
9. Willie Hernandez – P – Tigers – 670 – Double, first reviewed in pack 43.
10. John Wathan – C/1B – Royals – 128 – Double, first reviewed in pack 43.
11. Chris Chambliss – 1B – Braves – 293 – Double, first reviewed in pack 22.
12. Darnell Coles – 3B – Mariners – 337 – Double, first reviewed in pack 40.
13. Twins Leaders – 786 – Double, first reviewed in pack pack 52.
14. Jose Rijo – P – A’s – 536 – Double, first reviewed in pack 43.
15. Dick Howser – MGR – Royals – 199 – Double, first reviewed in pack 43.
Bamm! Just like that I got hit with a pack of 14 doubles. I knew it was coming, but when the hammer falls it hurts. If these weren’t doubles, it would have been a pretty good pack. Eric Davis, Alexander, and Hernandez highlight the pack, but overall we are looking at 0.5 stars. It would have been 0.0, but I did have one non double. Hopefully tomorrow’s pack will be better, at least I hope so!
