Here we have the celebratory photo after the Red Sox finished off the defending World Champion Houston Astros in the ALCS 4-1. I used to try to identify every player in these big photos and count them as a card for each player. That got too difficult to keep track of so I stopped. We do have Jackie Bradley Jr. pretty much right in front, which is notable since he was the ALCS MVP. I think Tzu-Wei Lin is the dude in the gray hoodie over J.D. Martinez's left shoulder on the left of the photo.
I long thought that if the Red Sox could just beat the Astros in the ALCS that they would likely win the World Series. Turns out I was correct on that front. But I also thought the ALCS would go the full seven games. That did not happen.
I should be getting the last bonus card soon. I am still waiting on my Postseason set with the autograph card and my World Champs set with the autograph. I am anxious to see what I get. Hopefully soon.
Speaking of receiving, I got your package today. Thanks a ton. Wasn't expecting to see so many extras. If your plan was to make me feel bad for sending you weak-sauce packages this year, it worked :P.
