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?
