Happy Opening Day to all of you, my fellow baseball fans, on this most excellent day.
I even wrote a baseball haiku. Here it is, in case you didn't see it on Twitter (with apologies to any haiku purists out there)...
Hot dogs and beer,
A Spring celebration
It's Opening Day
With that, my team isn't playing today, so I figured the next best thing would be to OPEN a few packs. Luckily my old lady was headed out to the local Target and she asked me if I wanted anything. You bet!
I put in an order for a few packs, and here is what she returned with...
Wouldn't ya know it? An Angel. I also got the usual assortment of inserts, Cubs and Yankees.
The 2016 Heritage pack followed the same pattern as usual - way too many Giants, nothing for my collection, and something for ZZ.
Here are the highlights (?) from the Opening Day pack...
Yet even more Yankees...
And some kinda insert...
It's extra cool because I got it from Opening Day, on Opening Day.
Finally, Opening Day 2016 is a little extra special because ATBATT quietly passed a milestone today - 100,000 views. Not bad for a humble little blog. More on that next time.
The Dodgers open their season tomorrow! Aloha!
Yay! A-Rods I needed! Thanks SH.
ReplyDeleteAll my Yankees are belong to you
DeleteGoing to be hard to beat the Joey Bats card for card of the year.
ReplyDeletePossibly across all the products
DeletePretty sure I opened that exact same pack with the Trout on top. Thanks Topps. And happy Opening Day to you too.

ReplyDeleteYeah, you guys are opening today too. Good luck!
DeleteTrout, Schwarber, Buxton...looks like as solid of a pack of '16 Topps as you'll find.
ReplyDeleteExcept for one critical flaw...not one Dodger
DeleteCongratulations on the milestone! I haven't read blogs in a while, but hope to help boost you to 200,000!
