So, since it seems to be the practice, here are a few of the cards I got.

Yankee first baseman Mark Teixeira, who currently is in a three way tie on the AL leader board for both home runs and runs batted in, despite a pedestrian .259 batting average.

Yankee great Don Mattingly, who appears, in this lousy economy, to have fallen on hard times and in need of any work, no matter how demeaning.

Last year's breakout star, Blue Jay Jose Bautista. This card is one of the Heritage short prints, so I am particularly stoked about getting it.

There are few people in the culture who can go by one name. There is Willie and Snoop in the music world*. In the sports world, there is, of course, Lebron and Ichiro. And ya gotta include anyone who can go by one name.

And, naturally, The Bambino.
So, there was plenty of other cards in the package from Johnny, but I have to stop playing in the Intertubes.
* Speaking of Willie and Snoop, here they are joined by their love of...........music.
It just looks wrong to see Donnie Baseball in any uniform other then Yankee pinstripes.
