So, are you going through Donruss Withdrawal? Never fear, a repacked pack of Team Heroes is here! I don't quite get the graph paper background on these, but I do like the team-color gradient bar on the left side. What do we have here?
241 Marlon Byrd - The card back mentions his 5-RBI game against the Expos. I miss those guys.
222 Barry Zito - Rockin' the double-knit flashbacks. Love the stirrups.
204 Tom Seaver - Hey, an actual Team Hero! Who'da thunk it? Great action shot of Tom Terrific in mid-delivery.
186 Justin Morneau - Probably didn't deserve his MVP award a few years back, but since he denied Derek Jeter the honors I can't complain.
373 Carl Pavano - One of Cleveland's big offseason pickups. Stop snickering.
349 Derek Lowe - It's D. Lowe, not to be confused with D'Lo.
308 Jose Cruz, Jr. - Shown in the Diamondbacks phase of his long career descent.
197 Victor Zambrano - One of the most useless of the Orioles parade of pitching horrors in recent years (0-1, 9.49 in 12.1 innings).

At least the O's didn't trade the best left-handed prospect in all of baseball for half a season of his usulessness (says the angry bitter mets fan).
Max - Yeah, ouch. I figured I'd skip the obvious comment and try to save you guys the torment, but I suppose he's burned into your mind. Kind of like Glenn Davis for us O's fans.
When I interned for the Aberdeen IronBirds, the PR guy was a Mets fan. This was a few months after the Zambrano trade, and he was still steamed. Then again, he was also pissed that the Mets traded Melvin Mora for a half season of Mike Bordick, so he might hold grudges longer than most.
