#1 - Selected to the All-Star team 10 or more times.
#2 - From Panama.
#3 - Hit HR his first at-bat in 1982.
#4 - Hit 600+ HR.
#5 - Hosted kids TV show in the 80s.
#6 - Drafted 27th overall.

These 12 cards are free to the winner. There are HOF cards, GU, and an auto, but mostly this is just for fun.

In a tie, I will random for the winner.

24 hours, thanks and good luck.

EDIT:

Hi everyone! Thanks for playing!

I did make a mistake, #8 is supposed to read:

#8 - Walked 5 times with the bases loaded in 2009.

So, in fairness to everyone, this question will not count.

Sorry, I wrote it pretty late at night. :o
