LaST STINKIN CARD A MET IVE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF

HEre's what you've been waiting for... TEH BOX HIT:

RR-AC Asdrubal Cabrera

FINAL POINT TOTAL = 15 points

only 2 measley Braves.

Ok Scott, let's see how you did... go check out Hand Collated for the other box rip!

Contest Winners:
Guess the Braves:
White Sox Cards And AlbuqwirkE both guessed two Braves. White Sox Cards wins because he a) guessed first b) Angel Berroa used to play in the AL Central which is where Asdrubal plays, and 3.) AlbuqwuirkE numbered his picks. (I gotta break the tie somehow)

Guess the jersey:
Cardboard Addiction guessed the card (after a blatant hint) but PopGuyNYC made the funniest joke so they're sort of tied at the moment. It'll all work itself out...

Thanks for checking out the box break and get over to Hand Collated to see the bottom of the ninth!
