I was watching his interview a few days ago where he basically said he regretted everything, and I thought of a total bummer.
Back in 2007, I bought a couple of boxes of Upper Deck Series 2 baseball, and they had these "Rookie of the Year" predictor cards ... so if your guy won, you won a set of cards or something (can't remember the exact prize).
Well, I pulled Troy Tulowitzki ... and he finished second in the NL ROY vote (by a nose, 128-126) to ...
Wait for it ...
Ryan Braun.
Tulo's stats — .291, 24 HR, 99 RBIs
Braun's stats — .324, 34 HR, 97 RBIs
Now, obviously I don't know if he was juicing that far back, but man, that would have been sweet to redeem that prize.
You think Upper Deck will go ahead and hook me up?
(Kidding on this last part, LOL)
