Where we stand in the 182 Packs of Baseball participants

on April 13th, 2012 by --David


I thought this would be a good time to list the teams/players in case folks are still trying to figure out what to grab up:

TEAMS (Remember, more than one person can claim teams per the rules*):

Angels
Athletics
Rangers – PlayAtThePlate,
Mariners – Padrographs,
White Sox – JeffL,
Indians – Tribecards, TSHenson,
Royals – JoshD,
Twins – Kary,
Tigers – Don,
Red Sox – Capt Canuck, AdamE,
Yankees – Johnathan,
Blue Jays
Orioles
Rays
Cubs
Cardinals
Brewers
Pirates
Astros – JoeC,
Reds – FanOfReds, JoeC (Post-1992),
Padres – Padrographs,
Diamondbacks – MarkA,
Dodgers – Kary, NightOwl,
Giants – MatthewR,
Rockies – Hiflew,
Braves – Capt Canuck,
Nationals
Mets
Phillies
Marlins
Expos – MarkA,

Players (Again, more than one person can claim a player. If your favorite isn’t listed, it means he is fair game!):

Mark Grace – Andy
Kerry Wood – Jon (not confirmed)
Frank Thomas – Jon (not confirmed)
Tony Gwynn – Jon (not confirmed)
Buddy Bell – Hiflew
Don Baylor – Hiflew
Tim Wallach – JamesH

Orel Hershiser – MarkA
Bip Roberts – Padrographs
Will Clark – PlayAtThePlate
Paul Konerko – JeffL
Tom Seaver – JeffL
Albert Pujols – TSHenson
Cal Ripken Jr – TSHenson

There are other choices that have been made as well.  I’m not listing those individually here.  Remember, players/teams will be handed out IN ORDER.  So, if someone claimed a certain player before someone else claimed that player’s team, the player choice gets the card.  So far, the official breakdown looks like this:

.

.
