Tigers bat barrel set of 2010

Got my final card the other day to complete the Tigers who are found in this set from Topps 2010 Update

Here's the set:

Spring Training is Upon Us!!!

I have not had much time to scan some cards lately so after school today I decided to scan some ebay arrivals that I had purchased over the last month or two....I also scanned some of the cards I have picked up in some packs and 3 cards from the Topps Million Card Giveaway that I redeemed....I was able to trade all my non-Tigers for Tigers so I was pretty happy about that.

So in honor of the first week of spring training, I give you two young rookies who were first and the second picks in the draft of 2010 by the Tigers ( both were sandwich picks between the first and second round ).....will be interesting if they get a chance to play for our local Tiger affiliate, West Michigan WhiteCaps, a single A team located here in Grand Rapids, MI...both players are highly thought of....welcome to the Tigers!!

 

Nick Castellanos  3b

 

Chance Ruffin  p

maybe some of you remember Bruce Ruffin from a few years ago...Chance is his son from the University of Texas...will be used as a relief pitcher

Gretzky comeback?

 

Now that Forsberg has signed with the Avalance, is Gretzky next?   I think that is a big NO but there was a pretty neat Gretzky commercial for a new Skechers shoe last night on the Super Bowl where he's on the ice hitting some slapshots at some rink and there's 3 guys who act all girlie and giggly thinking Gretzky is making a comeback....I kinda liked it although the Kim Kardashian Skechers  commercial was all right, too!  :)

Anyway, it gave me a reason to show the 1/10 parallel the Heritage Classic High Grade from Upper Deck I pulled a couple of years ago...got Lafleur, Messier, and Gretzky pictured on the front
