I did this last year. I've decided to make it an Opening Day tradition.
Unfortunately, with the holiday and all, I didn't have any time to track down a variety of cards from various companies. I'm afraid these images are "borrowed."
But that's the great thing about traditions. I'll get to do it all over again next year. Plan on seeing some Upper Deck and Fleer in 2011.
OK, join me, won't you? ...

It's funny - I've come to think that the Red Sox fans are the most obnoxious in baseball and I can't stand a good number of their players (Papelbon, Beckett, and Pedroia are the WORST), but more often than not I find myself "rooting" for them when they play the Yankees. That hatred of pinstripes just runs blood-deep.
Oh wait...

I'll just chalk that up to me not getting it and move about my business. :D
