Bowman Hobby Box Gold Edition (3)

Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone! I guess this is the official start of summer, but to me the official start of summer is Opening Day.  Granted it is usually quite chilly but you get the idea.

I have a few posts ready to go showing the last of my Bowman box I got what seems like forever ago.  I was pretty happy with the gold cards I pulled.
Michael Young has been underperforming for the Phillies, but then again all of the Phillies have been underperforming.  Young is on something like a 0-16 hitless streak.  Also on a pretty bad streak is the guy on the card next to him, Jim Johnson.  Johnson had a stretch of 30+ converted saves until the past month, where he has only converted one save out of the last five chances.  Not good.
The Zack Cosart card has a pretty cool shot of the ball before it goes into his glove.  I like the moment in time it captures.
Is it wrong to say that the card in the upper right corner is Justin Upton's brother?  B.J. hasn't had the same success as his brother, but his team has. They have a 5 game lead on the Nationals.  The Phillies are now seven games back, and two games under .500.  Let's not talk about it anymore.

The Dylan Bundy gold card was one of the better box pulls for my player collection.

Tomorrow I am headed to Nationals Park to see the O's play in the Battle of the Beltway.  I will be wearing orange, and I suspect there will be several thousand others doing the same thing.  I will attempt to tweet some pictures out for you guys! @FunnerHere
