to this kid?

Pack 37

Two words...
big disappointment!

I would like to take this opportunity to apologized to all involved in this group break. I obviously made a horrible mistake picking this box for the break. I hope you can all forgive me. Shew...Glad I got that off my chest. Anyway, seeing the O-Dogg in several of these packs made me think...How on Earth did he get his own puzzle in the 2012 Triple Play set. Hudson hasn't be relevant since like 2006 or something like that.

Two teams, the D-Backs and White Sox did not score this round. Never fear, though. Unclaimed cards from this go around will be distributed appropriately. Now it is time to get excited. Tomorrow starts the final box, 2004 UD ProSigs. Looking forward to see what is in store.
