I’m guessing Bob Walk is one of only a handful of players whose last name is a stat and whose first name is basically an acronym for that same stat.

The conversation in the Topps writers room about which 1983 Doug Bird win would earn card highlight status was brief and uncontentious.

It’s time to have the Minor League Randy Bass conversation.

will Munetaka Murakami finish the season with zero doubles? probably not
but his HR-to-2B ratio could certainly end up in relatively historic territory
via @Stathead, here's a fun list...
players in MLB history with at least 5x as many HR as doubles in a season (min. 10 HR)

The only qualified hitter left with 0 doubles this season HE HAS 12 HOME RUNS WITH 0 2B

I hope you are sitting down! There is no way that Don Mattingly hit 16 doubles while only having 10 hits in 1990. I propose that he only hit .025. I am impressed that 5 of those were home runs. But absolutely no way he had 42 RBI! Stop the BS Topps! This is outrageous!

You guys are NOT going to believe what I have uncovered within 1991 Topps Baseball. I can’t say tonight. It will have to wait til tomorrow. Or maybe Tuesday. But it will change everything you know about a certain All-Star from that year. When this news hits, it will change the game. Probably a change that is needed, but mark my words, this is gonna be huge.

Not quite Hall of Fame hitting stats. Absolute elite inner circle Hall of Fame wedgie.

Excited to build my “card backs that reference the card front” collection. This is it so far, but I bet there is at least one other one out there.

Not all biographical nuggets are listed in decreasing order of importance, but I have a hunch that ‘87 Topps Don Carman’s are.

@BloggerTubbs I got nothing. I’ll let you know if I come across it, though. Thanks for reaching out!

@sportcardbacks someone on one of my other social media apps had a question about a baseball card back featuring a cartoon of Harry Chiti being traded for himself. I figured you’d be the best person to ask whose card the Chiti cartoon appeared on the back of

@DubMentality @MrBaldGuyJoe It was a year ago and it got 11 likes. Not exactly trending. Brilliant minds think alike (and so do ours).

Fun fact - Rated Rookie status was noted on the BACK of 1983 Donruss

@MrBaldGuyJoe @DubMentality When you post like 6 times a year, your gimmick is up for grabs.

Finding italics on your game-winning RBIs is like finding chocolate on your bacon.

One time, my friend’s uncle pulled a Ken Griffey Junior Felix Jose Canseco *in order* from a pack of 1990 Score.

Tony Gwynn was so good at making contact. In 149 games in 1997, he only struck out 28 times and every single one of those was on either a foul tip or a foul bunt, probably.

Morganna the Kissing Bandit was much shorter than she appeared on television, and really lost her way later in her field-rushing career.

Willie Wilson is featured prominently in my upcoming coffee table book “Italics on 1980s Topps Card Backs.”
