2007 MLB Power Pros Video Game Cards

This one's sort of a weird "pack," as it's an in-video game pack from 2007 MLB Power Pros. You win points for playing games, and then spend those points on cards in the game. Collect em all - yeah!

Here's the card screen. You can buy an assorted pack, a fielder specific pack, or a pitcher specific pack, all at varying prices:
I bought an assorted pack. It was my first pack, so I got 10 new cards and 0 doubles:
Sweet! let's see who I "pulled!"


First we have Lyle Overbay, probably the worst card of the pack, and the first card of the pack.
This is what your standard cards look like - standard info on the left, nickname near the top if they have one, 2006 stats in the bottom left, and career stats in the bottom right. Plus a big huge picture and a big huge number in the top left corner.


Next is Josh Towers - I actually used to really like Towers, though he obviously wasn't that great, as his 2-10 record and 8.42 ERA in 2006 shows. Last I heard he was a Yankee, so yuck, this card is less awesome now.

First nickname though - Control Towers. More like "Lack of" Control Towers in 2006! Burrrrrn.


Boof Bonser - awww yeah, a great name in my first pack! It's funny that Boof's nickname section is blank, since Boof's real name is actually Boof following a name change several years ago. What a guy.


Marco Scutaro, pre fantastic 2009 with the jays/2010 move to the Red Sox - .266 with 5 HR and 41 RBI...man he came a long way from those stats. Also, I had no idea that he was born in Venezuela.


Shane Victorino - Pre nice 2008, less nice nowadays. Still a cool card though.


Josh Johnson - One of the cool parts of this game is that you have not only the 25 man major league roster, but also a 6-10 man AAA roster. Josh Johnson is on the Marlins AAA roster in this game, but he's the kind of guy who always gets pulled up to the majors when you actually play a season. My current AAA squad on my create-a-team features Micah Owings, who I hope to convert to an OF between seasons. Sadly I didn't pull any of his cards in this pack.


Brendan Ryan - ROOKIE CARD, AWWWWW YEAAAAAH! You can tell by the .000 average, and the default photo of your average looking player in this game. Because yeah, they all look like Miis. It's actually a wicked good game though.


Here's a look at the card screens, which are separated by individual team. Lit up cards are cards I own, while darkened ones are ones I still need. I now have most of the screen since I bought a ton of cards after writing this post, but at the point of this picture, all I had was...
Aaron Harang. He had a great 2006, but since has just been kind of ehhhhhh. Shame too, because he was awesome when he was good, great strikeout guy and inning eater.


Ben Sheets, aka injury city. I think he and Rich Harden should join the same team, just to see if the world explodes or something when they both make 40 starts somehow. Great pitcher though.


Last but not least, best card in the pack, Mr. Greg Maddux. 2nd nickname as well with "The Professor," and obviously my favorite since everyone loves Maddux. Nice finish Power Pros, well done!

If I ever get home to my parent's house, I'll be sure to purchase cards in all of my Madden games and the old World Series Baseball games. They're a lot more realistic and a bit more interesting, so I think they'd be cool for this blog. For now though, enjoy the random Wii-ness!
