1996 Upper Deck Series 1 Hobby

My first pack of 1996 Upper Deck Series I baseball...

#157 - Joe Girardi - New York Yankees - If I'm not mistaken Joe's just extracted a monster booger and is unsure what to do with it. He's looking to the bench for advice.

#169 - Darren Daulton - Philadelphia Phillies - Pictured with son in hand?

#108 - Ozzie Smith - St. Louis Cardinals - Young at Heart - I really like the backs on these subset cards.

#224 - Arquimedez Pozo - Seattle Mariners - Star Rookie - Arquimedez played just 26 career games in the majors, 1 with the Seattle Mariners and 25 with the Boston Red Sox.

#206 - Juan Gonzalez - Texas Rangers - 1996 was a monster year for Juan. He captured A.L. MVP honors with a .314/47/144 stat line.

#45 - Reggie Sanders - Cincinnati Reds
#162 - George Williams - Oakland Athletics
#155 - Paul O'Neill - New York Yankees - Great shot of Paul in the midst of his pre-game stretch.

#12 - Curtis Goodwin - Baltimore Orioles
#42 - Alex Fernandez - Chicago White Sox

As usual, Upper Deck has a great base set design here. I would definitely buy some more of this if I had the chance...

Arquimedez Pozo has the highest scoring Scrabble name (first and last only) in major league history.
