Random Pack Breaks: Pondering 2009 Topps Allen and Ginter Baseball

I think it's safe to say that there's at least a two hour drive between my home and the nearest place where I could find a pack of 2009 Topps Allen and Ginter. So I was pretty stoked to come across four packs in my travels back home. While I may be missing out on the Gint-a-Cuffs goodness, I still offer everyone this single patriotic pack.

 

147. Coco Crisp pondering why he hasn't Tweeted on Twitter in a while.

 

229. Mark Ellis pondering why he has to pose for this friggin' card. 

 

195. Kevin Kouzmanoff pondering tonight's finale of So You Think You Can Dance (yes, when this photo was taken months ago he was future pondering).

 

32. Jeremy Bonderman pondering how he's going to spend the shiny quarter promised to him by Jim Leyland for hitting the side of the big red barn with the ball in his hand. Little did Bonderman know that the ball was rigged by that prankster Miguel Cabrera with a remote control device, ensuring that Bonderman will indeed miss the big red barn, miss out on Leyland's shiny quarter and lose all confidence in his pitching.

 

27. Chien Ming Wang pondering why he'd score -1 in Gint-a-Cuffs.

 
 

 251. Carl Crawford pondering pounding someone in the head with this bat if they don't hurry up and paint this darn picture.

 

161. Lil' Justin Morneau pondering the meaning of pondering. And what to have for a snack. 

 

NP19. Erik Bedard pondering Mitsou.

I'm pondering what a cool pack this was - two Canadians out of eight cards. No unicorns or William Wallaces, though.
