Post 4 – Day 4 – October 9, 2009
My third pack of 2009-10 O-Pee-Chee hockey contained the following six cards:
#14 Jordan Staal Penguins
#405 Marco Sturm Bruins
#385 David Krejci Bruins
#CB-JH Jayna Hefford Team Canada
#542 Byron Bitz Bruins
#182 Paul Martin Devils
Our ScoreboardEh store with CheckOutMyCards.com features 23 cards of these players, 15 for Staal alone and a new high for the blog.
For master set collectors there are two cards of interest. The Jayna Hefford Team Canada card is the first Canada’s Best insert thus far and the Byron Bitz Rookie Card is sure to be popular with Bruins collectors.
After hitting an early home run for the Cardinals, left fielder Matt Holliday was being fitted with a heroes cape, only to be sent back to the wardrobe where the cape was promptly replaced with a set of goat horns. The 29 year old native of Stillwater, Oklahoma was handcuffed by a game ending flyball that hit him ……well …..in the midsection.
Legendary broadcaster Vin Scully called the play from the Dodgers booth and immediately wondered if a cup was part of Holliday’s uniform. The Dodgers used the gaffe to score two in the bottom of the ninth for a 3-2 win, and a 2-0 series lead as the teams head back to St. Louis for game three.
It’s raining in Southern Ontario and my arm says it may stay that way.
Tomorrow: Pack 4 from 2009-10 O-Pee-Chee hockey.
