In conjunction with my already extant desire to create custom cards and with a bit of inspiration from The Phillies Room's Chachi set (make sure to give it a look), I have, over the past two seasons, deigned to fill out a set of cards for every member of the Phillies from the current season, effectively supplementing the ones already in the main Topps line. To introduce this set, let's start off with #39, Darick Hall, who is making his MLB debut today batting cleanup.
Hall is a former 14th rounder who spent just one season in college, making the professional jump after an explosive two-way season as a draft-eligible sophomore at Dallas Baptist. As a professional, Hall has been a heavy-hitter at every level, producing 20 home runs or more in every full season as a professional, save last season. He just recently cracked 20 for Lehigh Valley, putting him two clear of Royals phenom Vinnie Pasquantino (who debuted just yesterday) for 1st in the International League. Now in the Major Leagues, Hall hopes to be a piece in the puzzle that is replacing the lost bat of Bryce Harper in the Phillies lineup.
