Random Cards From My Collection #23

Card #26336
2010 Topps Chrome X-Fractors #121 Roy Oswalt

Former Astro and former Phillie. The Phillies released him last October and he appears not to have signed with anyone. Apparently he doesn't want to sign with anyone until after his kids are out of school in June.

Card #19518
1985 Donruss #448 Rick Schu
Startled or angry, you decide.

Card #25025
2010 Bowman Draft Prospects #101 Timmy Lopes
No information on baseball-reference.com. I'm guessing he's still in high school or a freshman in college.

Card #16910
1989 Topps #730 Danny Jackson
Danny Jackson, looking reflective, rather than crazy as he does on many later cards.

Card #29112
2009 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions #128 Bill Rodgers
Marathon runner.

Card #17558
1997 Score #95 Alex Rodriguez
He was just a kid then.

Card #17229
2008 Topps #536 Albert Pujols
Assuming this isn't photoshopped (and with Topps you can never be sure), Prince Fielder is about to lower the boom on Albert.

Card #27047
2011 Topps Gypsy Queen #254 Brandon Phillips
2012 Gypsy Queen is supposed to be released next week.

Card #27990
2011 Topps #592 Dayan Viciedo
Topps, your home for players you never heard of.

Card #2608
1996 Fleer #281 Paul Quantrill
Fleer experimented with a lot of different formats in the mid-1990s. This set was printed on white card stock with no gloss but with gold foil. Quantrill had been traded to the Blue Jays in December 1995 which is why this card says he's with the Blue Jays although he looks like a Phillie.
