The Last Two...

Pack 35:

2 to go. Phil Geisler for the Phils, and 5 strike-outs in one inning?
"If a third strike is not caught by the catcher (and is not tipped), it is a strikeout, and the at-bat is over. However, with first base open or with two outs, the batter is not out until tagged out or forced out. On a wild pitch or passed ball the batter can often advance to first base safely. If a runner is at first base and there are less than two outs, the batter is automatically out, as with the infield fly rule. If there are two outs, another runner may be forced out as with any other ball in play. If the runner reaches first base safely, there is no out, but the pitcher is still credited with a strikeout."

I did not know this, before reading this card! But I did witness 4 strikeouts in 1 half-inning. Carpenter pulled this one off in the 1st round play-offs when Gload (Lucky #7 for the Phillies) struck out but reached on catcher's error!

Pack 36:

and that was a fun box to break. I did not end up with a complete set by a few cards, but got some nice stuff anyhow.
