151 Bill Mazeroski - I love the copy on the Goudey card backs; this one drops "big flies" and "taters" in consecutive sentences.
99 Chad Billingsley - Was 12-5, 3.31 in 2007.
47 Johnny Bench - With nifty red wristband.
127 Phil Rizzuto - No mention of his assist to "Paradise By the Dashboard Light"? What a travesty!
122 Alex Rodriguez - "Pelted" an MLB best 54 homers? That verb choice ain't doing it for me.
18 Eddie Murray - YES! The fourth retired player in this pack is one bad mamma jamma.
200 Evan Longoria RC - He didn't have such a hot World Series, but that won't stop him from being a runaway Rookie of the Year winner.
148 Adam LaRoche - His name is French for "Adam the Roach". Except, you know, I made that up.

On the Longoria card, why does it say "Ken Griffey Jr says.." with a corresponding Derek Jeter photo. The other card is consistent.
What's that all about?
Wow, I didn't even notice that! Must be an error. Good catch!
I believe "belted" was the word they were looking for. Pelting is something you do with pebbles or other small objects.
Maybe if he had been HIT by that many pitches, "pelted" would have worked.... As we have seen repeatedly, the quality control just isn't there anymore.
