Birthday Box: Packs 17-24

And here we have the frighteningly uneventful conclusion of the 2009 Heritage High Series box. With pictures!

Pack 17:

552 - Daniel Schlereth (Son of Stink)

603 - Jody Gerut

643 - Mike Carp (Mike Carp debuted in the majors in 2009 and then disappeared for awhile, only to reemerge this past season as one of the few reliable offensive options in the Mariners lineup.)

UH38 - Justin Upton All-Stars

505 - Adam Everett

564 - Emilio Bonifacio

588 - Jake Fox

Pack 18:

507 - John Smoltz (It's already weird to see Smoltz in a Cards uni. Did that really happen?)

547 - Craig Stammen

587 - J.P. Howell (Howell has some temper on him.)

UH175 - Jody Gerut

UH174 - Omar Vizquel

719 - Ricky Romero

683 - Bill Hall

UH161 - Andrew Bailey All-Stars

UH111 - Livan Hernandez

Pack 22:

628 - Landon Powell

581 - Gregg Zaun
