# 401 - Scott Hairston

This is the last week of Spring Training and I still have plenty more 08 Topps cards to post about.

Next up is San Diego Padres outfielder, Scott Hairston. Scott in returning to the Padres after finishing the 2009 season in Oakland. This time he is being joined by his big brother, Jerry.

We were able to get both of the Hairston brothers autographs the other day. Unfortunately, Jerry doesn't have a card in the 08 Topps set.

Custom: Joe Mauer - 2008 Topps

Why Joe Mauer? He was the 2009 American League MVP!

Minnesota Twins fans got great news last weekend. Joe Mauer will be the centerpiece of the Twins lineup until 2018.

Joe has made some major accomplishments since his MLB debut in 2004. Joe is already a 3x All-Star, a 3x batting champ, a 2x Gold Glove Award winner, and oh yah... he has that MVP award too. Most impressive.

# 588 - Tony Gwynn Jr.

The son of Mr. Padre seems to have found his own place in San Diego. Tony Gwynn, Jr. was traded to the orgainzation that his father spent his entire career with on May 21, 2009. Entering 2010, Tony Jr will be expected to hold down centerfield as an everyday outfielder at Petco Park.

# 94 - Bud Black

The San Diego Padres have gone through a lot of roster moves since 2008. They don't have many players still around who were wearing a Padres uniform when the 08 Topps set came out. However, their manager hasn't changed.

After a 15-year MLB career, Bud Black is entering his fourth season as manager of the Padres.

Little known fact: Bud Black was a member of the 1985 World Champion Kansas City Royals.

# UH 327 - Hernan Iribarren

Hernan Iribarren began Spring Training 2010 in Maryvale with the Milwaukee Brewers and he will be finishing it in Surprise as a member of the Texas Rangers. He was claimed off waivers by the Rangers on March 13th.

Regardless of which team he plays for, Hernan has a nice signature that shows up great on his 08 Topps card.
