vaya a dar vuelta dos - 2001 pacific edition

or, in english, let's turn two!

i bought a lot of pacific product in 2000 and 2001. i thought they had some pretty good designs, some pretty wacky designs, and some good subsets and inserts. there was also the bonus of spanish text on the back of some of their products.

plus, there were a lot of double play shots in their sets. well, this one, at least.

alex arias doing the scissor kick at wrigley... ron belliard delivering a knee to the head (is that you, marvin benard?)
homer bush and his flamingo stance...
jay canizaro and the jerry lee lewis hop...
luis sojo posturing while derek jeter's face is obscured by a logo. the horror...
and eric young jumping with complete disregard for his safe return to earth. do you think he will really be able to get his feet back in front of him before he hits the ground?
this was an approach eric previously demonstrated on his 1999 upper deck card...
two points for consistency.

I got the cards you sent! Good stuff, especially the '83s. Thanks.

I'd say that in Spanish, but I've forgotten everything I learned in high school.
