I at least wanted to feature an older Brignac card in this post, but I needed to counterbalance it with an actual Phillies card. According to MLB Stat of the Day, via their Twitter account, Brignac became the first Phillies player to break a 0-0 tie with a walk-off home run since Willie Montanez did it on July 28, 1972. And now you know.

I was going to make one after your prior post mentioning that there aren't any Brignacs, but most of my baseball card time has been spent trying to figure out why blogrolls no longer like me.
I'll bump Mr. Brignac up on the list and let you know when it's out there.
That Willie Montanez is on my "I really need that card" list. It is the last 72 I need for my Rookie Cup collection. Thank you for reminding me of it. BTW, I might not get you a Brignac card before anyone, but I guarantee I will get you one before Topps.
Thanks guys! Virtual Brignac Phillies cards are better than no Brignac Phillies cards.
