First off, do Mickey Morandini, 2B US Olympic team (and later Phillies). He’s from my area, and a fellow IU Hoosier (the second Hoosier to wear #12 w/ Philly - Schwarber is the other).
Mickey came back to PGH in ‘91 (?) and pulled off an unassisted triple play vs the Pirates. I was lucky enough to be there and still have the ticket stub somewhere.
Regardless, awesome pod. I eagerly await new episodes each week (or so).
This show and its hosts are fantastic. I was 14 & obsessed with cards, bought countless packs of 88 Topps. This show has arrived in my life at just the right moment. This very ambitious project is a real achievement and I can’t wait to hear future episodes. For now, having a ball listening through to all of them. <3 x infinity !
What an exceptional podcast that instantaneously sends you back in time aboard a 100mph fastball straight into the heart of 1988 Topps Baseball set. This set is the first one I actively bought wax packs of and the colors, design, and players hold an indelible place in my collectors consciousness. Great listen and great job.
Funny, insightful, engrossing. Even my wife and 13-year-old daughter love it.
If I could give 10 stars I would. Just want to say THANK YOU !!! Keep up the amazing work..
