Paul Skenes continues his quest as one of the best pitchers in the game at such a young age. He reached a career milestone, being the fastest Pirate to notch 500 K’s in his career. For his feat, he has his own Topps Now card, which summarizes his career like this: Paul Skenes collected a personal achievement in Pittsburgh’s series against Cincinnati. Catching Reds star Elly De La Cruz looking on…

With Carlos Mendoza being fired, the Mets under interim manager Andy Green finally won a game. They sit 15 games out of first place with a 35-48 record in the NL East standings, which has seen a resurgence in the Phillies since Don Mattingly took over as skipper. Not panning out to what it was supposed to be, the Mets had their eye on a run into October, which is pretty much null and void at this…

Since Don Mattingly has taken over as manager of the Phillies, he has guided them to a second place 43-36 record in the NL East standings. It has been a team effort to get where they are and just yesterday they had an eight run ninth inning with one strike left. Their Topps Now card explains it: The Philadelphia Phillies didn’t let up with one out left against Washington, plating eight runs in…

The Yankees had two champions in attendance as good luck charms in Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart. Then they put on their own championship show, literally hitting the White Sox again 10-5. With several injuries to some of their star players — Aaron Judge to name a few — the veterans and young call-ups took matters into their own hands. Spencer Jones has been trying to make the most of his call-up…

The Cubs are sitting right in the middle of the standings and look to add more “W’s” to the win column. With talent on the team, Pedro Ramirez, one of their recent call-ups, contributed with a blast over the center-field wall, which was his first MLB home run. For that blast, he now has his first Topps Now card with a memorable recount: The third and final home run of the day in the Chicago Cubs…

After 53 years, the Knicks finally are World Champions. Being a New Yorker, it’s great to finally see the them win it all, since the last team was NYFC when they won the 2021 MLS Cup. Here’s the breakdown of the last New York Championships: NFL: New York Giants, Super Bowl XLVI (2012)MLB: New York Yankees, World Series (2009)MLS: New York City FC, MLS Cup (2021)NHL: New York Rangers, Stanley Cup…

The Brewers have talent, and his name is Jacob Misiorowski. Misiorowski has speed, and his fastball was clocked at 103.5 MPH, which stuns hitters with his pure talent on the mound. He also just set an MLB record of 45 pitches clocked at 101-plus MPH, including the 103.5 MPH stunner he sent over the plate. For his record, Topps Now has an exclusive card for him. His story goes like this: When it…

Not good news for the Yankees. Aaron Judge has been diagnosed with a rib fracture and will be out four to six weeks, but the upside is that he will be back this season. With a 37-26 record, they sit 1.5 games in second place behind the Rays in the standings. They had a strong start to the season, but now they seem to be slowly fading. If they have World Series aspirations, they may need to make…

The Mets season is not panning out to what it was supposed to be, a run into October. With a 27-35 record, they are 15 games out of first place and don’t look like the team that was predicted preseason. The question is, at the trade deadline, will they be sellers, which would make sense? At times, the young guns on the team have shown promise, but it doesn’t seem to be enough to at least salvage…

He’s a one-man show. Shohei Ohtani continues to defy the odds and can do almost anything from hitting to pitching. It shows just how great of a baseball player he is and one of the best to ever play the game. With that, he again had another Topps Now card bestowed in his honor for his play, and here’s the narrative on him: Shohei Ohtani took matters into his own hands, contributing on both sides…

Sitting 1.5 games behind the Rays, the Yankees are making their way back to the top of the AL East with a hitting barrage against the Royals the other night. Every Yankee had at least two hits for the night, beating the Royals 15-1. With Aaron Judge leading the Yankees, they have their sights on October and are showing it by their consistent playing. Here’s the Topps Now verbiage on their barrage…

Juan Soto is one of the best in the game. He continues to lead the Mets in the best possible ways that he can, as they struggle this season. Making history at such a young age is the Soto way, and again he’s been bestowed his own Topps Now card for his achievement. Here’s a brief history of his achievement: Juan Soto took advantage of his only trip to the bases in the eighth inning, swiping his…

He should be called the two-way star. Shohei Ohtani, the pitching and hitting machine, has done it again, making the game of baseball look so easy. With that, here’s another Topps Now card that he has, and the summary goes like this: In his return to hitting while pitching, two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani’s first-pitch homer paved the way for five shutout innings tossed in a 4-0 Los Angeles Dodgers…

This past weekend was the cross-town rivals match-up. From the Subway Series in New York to the Crosstown Classic in Chicago, there was plenty of excitement on the diamond. In Chicago, Munetaka Murakami is making a name for himself with the White Sox with his monstrous home runs. His Topps Now card says it best: In his first Crosstown Classic, Chicago White Sox slugger Munetaka Murakami continued…

Exciting Subway Series baseball is happening at Citi Field between the Yankees and the Mets, as both teams are vying for naming rights in the series. Cam Schlittler was in control all night, striking out nine in leading the Yankees to a 5-2 win. His Topps Now card highlighted his night: One of the biggest rivalries in baseball saw one of the game’s best young pitchers do what he does best – shut…

The Mets are clawing their way out of the NL East cellar and hopefully are playing to win and move up in the standings. Everyone on the Mets has pitched in between hitting, pitching, and fielding plays that have not gone unnoticed. Recent call-up A. J. Ewing hit his first home run, which propelled the Mets to sweep the Tigers. With that, Ewing now has a Topps Now card commemorating his…

This weekend in New York will be a special one as the Subway Series gets underway between the Mets and Yankees at CitiField.
