2019 Opening Day: Picked up this pack as part of a recent Blowoutcards purchase. Ronald Acuna Jr. is injured again this year which hasn't helped the Braves' offense that has struggled all season. Can't wait to get him back on the field next year.
I'm a fan of Opening Day and I miss it. I know it's simplistic and a faux copy of the flagship set but still there was something about it I really enjoy.
Andujar didn't work out in New York but is having a good season for the A's. Hudson had some good seasons in St. Louis before cooling off and ending up in Colorado. Torres is struggling this season but has been solid for the Yankees.
150 Years of Fun inserts are just that - fun. And getting to see Gary Carter in action is always great.
Evan Longoria's 16-year career yielded 1900+ hits and 342 homeruns. He was Rookie of the Year as well as a 3X All-Star and Gold Glove award winner.
Nice shot where you see all three watching the ball take off.
Andrelton Simmons was an excellent defender. Billy Hamilton was a speedster and favorite of mine. He never could figure out the hitting thing but he was still exciting.
Opening Day inserts are nice and appropriate.
We'll finish it off with more Atlanta Braves. Another former Braves shortstop, every fan liked Dansby Swanson. And then you have the GOAT, Hank Aaron. I never get bored looking at his stats. That man could hit like nobody's business and, combined with the power he brought to the plate it's so easy to appreciate his career.
BREAKDOWN:

Voting for Acuna. He does need to do a better job of staying healthy though.
