I received another package from Kenny over the summer last year. These one included a couple of the Sega Card-Gen cards from Japan. These are some of my favorites to receive from him because they are very hard to find over here. I still need that Dan Wheeler card. This one features two of the veteran bats going in 2012.
1. Kevin Youkilis. 2012 would be Youkilis's last season in Boston. It was disappointing how things went down with him not getting along with manager Bobby Valentine and losing playing time. Youkilis has come back to Boston to work on the broadcast team. Youkilis hit .287/.388/.487 with 133 home runs in his time with Boston. He won a Gold Glove, was an All Star three times and finished in the top ten in the MVP vote twice. He even won the Hank Aaron Award in 2008 after a monster season in which he hit .312/.390/.569 with 29 home runs, 43 doubles and 115 RBIs.
2. David Ortiz. I just discussed Ortiz in yesterday's post. There is not much else to say about the Hall of Famer today. Ortiz had an injury-plagued 2012 season, but still hit .318/.415/.611 with 23 home runs and 60 RBIs in 90 games.
Thanks Kenny!
