More Wongs and Others

Still going.  I am getting close-ish to catching up.  

1.  2022 Topps Chrome Sonic Red RayWave Refractor.  This card is serial-numbered to five.  It also completes the Sonic rainbow for me.

2.  2024 Topps Chrome Sapphire.

3.  Chris Sale.  This was just a one-card trade on TCDB.  It still needs to be shown off.

4.  2024 Topps Chrome Sapphire Orange.  This card is serial-numbered to 25.

1.  Kevin Millar.  Millar is still one of my favorite players from the 2004 team.  He was a big character guy in the clubhouse, and he could hit a little bit too.  In three seasons he hit .282/.362/.451 with 52 home runs and 220 RBIs.

2.  Ted Williams.

3.  Daisuke Matsuzaka.  Matsuzaka finished fourth in the ROY vote in 2007 and followed that up with a fourth-place finish in the Cy Young vote the next year.  And then the injuries and ineffectiveness occurred.

4.  Bobby Dalbec.

5.  David Ortiz.

6.  Julian Tavarez.  Tavarez was one of the crazier individuals I remember in Boston.  He started a brawl in Spring Training against the Rays, rolled balls to the first-baseman on grounders, and was generally a maniac.  He spent parts of three seasons in Boston, going 12-16 with a 4.94 ERA.

7.  Byung-Hyun Kim.  Kim did not endear himself to Boston fans when he gave them the finger after being booed.  He had a tumultuous stint in Boston, and was okay in 2003 after being acquired.  

8.  Allen Webster.  Webster was one of the major names acquired in the huge trade with the Dodgers in 2012, but he never lived up to expectations.  In 19 games in Boston, he had a record of 6-5 with a 6.25 ERA.

9.  Ty Buttrey.  Buttrey was traded to the Angels in the deal for Ian Kinsler in 2018 before pitching for Boston.

1.  2024 Topps Chrome Sapphire Gold.  This card is numbered to 50.

2.  2022 Panini Chronicles Origins Signatures Holo Gold.  This card is serial-numbered to 25.

That's it for today.
