Masters 5 of 10 Kenny Lofton

 

I just remember this guy being in the post season on a different team like five different times.

A testament to how good he was.

Masters 4 of 10 Tony Gwynn

 

Still cannot believe he's gone, so young.

Masters 3 of 10 Ken Griffey Jr.

 

The Master of Masters.

Masters 2 of 10 Juan Gonzalez

 

Another Master, for several years at least, that won't be in the Hall.

Masters 1 of 10 Barry Bonds

Masters were inserted 1:8 packs, there are 10 cards in the set.

He might be THE Master, but he's not in the Hall.

N-Tense 12 of 12 Matt Williams

 

Tutored by Bobby Bonds and batting behind Barry Bonds...definitely N-Tense.

N-Tense 11 of 12 Mo Vaughn

 

N-Tense worthy as he went on to hit no less than 33 HRs every season in the next six years.

N-Tense 10 of 12 Frank Thomas

 

Mild-mannered but definitely N-Tense.

N-Tense 9 of 12 Manny Ramirez

 

Manny being Manny is always worthy of an N-Tense card.

N-Tense 8 of 12 Mike Piazza

 

Worthy of an N-Tense? 

Only when Roger Clemens is pitching to him.

N-Tense 7 of 12 Mark McGwire

 

Worthy of an N-Tense card? Definitely, but I think he could have done it without the roids.

N-Tense 6 of 12 Ken Griffey Jr.

 

Unfortunately, this is the only card I'm missing from the set.

Obviously, I had hoped to have it by now!

N-Tense 5 of 12 Ron Gant

 

Ron Gant, worthy of an N-Tense card?

For sure, and he looks good in a Reds uniform.

N-Tense 4 of 12 Cecil Fielder

 

Worthy of an N-Tense card - pure power with a mighty swing.

N-Tense 3 of 12 Barry Bonds

 

Worthy of an N-Tense card - roid rage.

N-Tense 2 of 12 Albert Belle

 

Worthy of an N-Tense card, emotionally and physically.

N-Tense 1 of 12 Jeff Bagwell

 

Worthy of an N-Tense card.

Rookies 10 of 10 Alex Rodriguez

 

Never been a fan.

Especially now that he's a commentator.

Rookies 9 of 10 Hideo Nomo

 

Went on to be an All-Star, Strikeout Leader, and NL ROY in his first season. 

Added another Strikeout Leader and two no-hitters to an 18-year career.

Rookies 8 of 10 Chipper Jones

Went on to become a HOFer.

Rookies #7 Charles Johnson

Rookies 7 of 10 Charles Johnson

 

Johnson was considered an exceptional defensive catcher and went on the have a good 11-year career. He was a 2x All Star, 4x Gold Glover, and won a World Series in 1997 with the Marlins. He is Fred McGriff's cousin.

Rookies 6 of 10 Shawn Green

Green went on to a very solid 15-year career which included 2 All-Star selections, a Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, and hitting 4 home runs in a game (328 total in his career).

Rookies 5 of 10 Alex Gonzalez

 

Went on to a productive 14-year career, mostly with the Blue Jays (also Cubs, Expos, Padres, Rays, and Phillies). As a Cub he was part of the "Bartman" inning when he committed a fielding error in what went on to become a 7-run inning for the Marlins.
