Ladies and Gentlemen, meet my new favorite player: Yovani Gallardo. He's a young (just turned 26) pitcher with ace-like stuff and last season he set career highs in W (17) IP (alot) and K's (207), while recording his 3rd consecutive season with 200+ K's. I am not abandoning my former favorite (Ryan Braun), but I am sort of putting his collection on hold. I halfheartedly believe that Braun didn't do anything wrong, but I'm not dumb enough to ignore science. Plus, this Gallardo guy is hard not to love. He's young, he's the Ace, he's got a cool name and his last name is also the name of a Lambourghini. Plus, he was my second favorite player so I have some cards of him already:
And don't forget about this guy:
His 2004 Donruss Elite EE Turn of the Century Autograph RC /100! Yeah I already have what is one of the toughest and most expensive Gallardo cards out there. I picked this guy up in 2008 when Gallardo tore his ACL early in the season. Lucky for me he bounced back and has turned into a great pitcher. So if you have any Gallardo's sitting around, Let's make a deal!
Oh, man. I was at a Brewers/Twins game at Miller Park in June last year for my birthday and Yo KILLLLLLED my Twins! I think the score ended up being something like 11-1. Delmon Young tore up his ankle dogging it in the outfield during that game. What a birthday! lol
