2 Sox from 4 packs and Jacoby Ellsbury counts as triple (even quadruple ) in my book. It feels pretty good to pull your favourite player from a pack, even if you already have it. And not a Yankee to be seen...

Still a little uncomfortable about the mascot cards.

Or am I missing something?

Are they are integral part of the baseball experience?
