It's been a long time since I completed page 2 of my Red Sox Frankenset! Seems like a good time to start the 3rd page. Just a refresher, I'm going through my Red Sox doubles and picking the best at each number for the Frankenset. Let's roll!
#19
Favorite Card: 1992 Post #19 Wade Boggs
My Choice: same
A happy Boggs wins by default! At least it's a relatively nice food issue card, despite the lack of an MLB-licensed logo and a bat that strangely disappears behind his neck.
#20
Favorite Card: 2008 Topps #20 Daisuke Matsuzaka
My Choice: same
As much as I liked Gator as a player, this is not his best card (that one already made it to the Frankenset!). He looks like he smelled something unpleasant. Dice-K gets the win!
#21
|
Favorite Card: 1987 Topps - 1986 All-Star Game Commemorative Set (Glossy) #21 Roger Clemens
My Choice: 1992 Ultra #21 Jody Reed
Finally, some real choices! I love me some All-Star Glossy cards, especially if it features the Rocket and some cars in the background. However, this spot goes to Jody and the great action shot of him hurdling an Athletics runner.
With these selections, Here's how the top line of Page 3 looks:
What
say you, good readers? Did I make the right choices?
