2022 Allen and Ginter Blaster

2022 A&G:  Picked this up in February but I guess I forgot to share.  Allen & Ginter can be hit or miss with me but I still like picking up at least one blaster a year.  Nice looking Kirby Puckett to kick it off.  I've always liked Kirby even if he and the Twins squeaked by the Atlanta Braves in that darn 1991 World Series.

I actually like the large logo on these.  Not having a true border on the right still throws me off though.  Pete Alonso has had two seasons.  He's really struggled as of late and is not helping my fantasy team.

Kenley Jansen is a guy I thought would struggle with the pitch clock due to everything he does on the mound but he's had a solid year as the closer for the Red Sox.

Some youngsters I pulled.  Cruz is having a good year for the Marlins as is Brandon Marsh for the Phillies.  

Who doesn't like potato chips?

Hause is maybe Dave Hause the musician?  Nice Willie Mays card.

Some of the randomness you get with A&G.

Nice Clemons card while my relic was from Anthony Rendon who continues to struggle with injuries and at the plate.  I am happy to see the Angels all in on trying to make the playoffs and not trading Ohtani.  Fingers crossed they can do it.

Of all things on a What's Cookin card, we have ketchup?

Plenty of retired greats.  Really enjoy seeing Jason Varitek included.

Nice looking Banner Season insert.  We end it with one of my favorite players in Rickey Henderson who's probably thinking "I'll be on seocond base in no time".
