The end is here. As has become tradition, we get a singular top reward here in the 10th Inning Program, and we start to run it back as it relates to earlier programs. This time around it’s Milestone Albert Pujols as the top reward rather than Ken Griffey Jr. (since we already got his top card). It’s still weirder seeing Griffey Jr’s top card tied to a Reds uniform, but Pujols in an Angels uniform for his top card is also strange — albeit it’s better than him being in a Dodgers uniform.
The program itself is a little light on content so far (even more than the start of other programs), but that will work itself out. On top of that, this program comes full of more goodies in the XP track than any other programs to this point, especially if you didn’t follow Diamond Dynasty all year like some of us insane folks.
With that all said, let’s get into the 10th Inning Program.
