Ginter One

Here's part one in a two part post of a retail Ginter box I recently opened. All cards minus my player collection cards are for trade.  Got Pence? Halladay? Cliff Lee? Oswalt? Phillies? Something else I might like?  Let's talk!

Zobrist: "We're not in the playoffs anymore, Toto." 

Will Prince be in a Brewer's uniform next year? From the standing ovation he got in his last at bat in the regular season at Miller Park, it doesn't seem like many people in the Milwaukee area think he will be back.

It's always nice when you get two cards for your player collections.

I imagine this is a code card due to the weirdness on the bottom and top corners.  Has a code been cracked yet? I don't follow this stuff, but if someone needs this card I have it.

I love to play ping pong, as does the guy on the card with the last name that has hardly any vowels.  I just downloaded an awesome ping pong game for my iPad, considering my arm is still in a sling from the shoulder surgery and I won't be playing any ping pong for months.  These cards are part of the reason Ginter is so fun to open.  People you never expect wind up being on them.  But I don't have to tell you guys this.

So the Phillies gave half of Pennsylvania a collective heart attack last night when they pulled out the 3-2 win over the Cardinals.  Tonight we go for the series win.  I really hope the bats show up. It should be somewhat better since we are facing a right handed pitcher.  Utley+Howard+Ibanez=proven failures against lefties, more often than not.
