Designated Hitter or Pitcher?

Baseball is back. The new season will start in July. Meanwhile, new sets of baseball cards are available. Topps big league is one of the cheaper sets and very accessible for fans. However, it’s very hard to get an autographed baseball card in a box since it’s not guaranteed. But, some big league inserts are with cool designs.

80 Games

Only 60 games in a season seem to be too short and it is not the baseball season that we usually know. However, a 60-game season could create some excitement and some teams could be the dark horses to be playoff contenders. It will be very interesting since fans also love to see underdogs make some impacts.

60 Games

Baseball is back. The negotiation between the MLB and the MLBPA finally came to a conclusion. However, the negotiation did not go smoothly. There are so many disputes between the two parties. But baseball will be back in July. It’s going to be a short season. As some media reported, a 60-game season will be implemented. It’s not the regular baseball season we expected, but at least we have baseball and it may create something unexpected.

What can’t Trout hit?

“With the 25^th selection in the first round of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim select Michael Trout.” Bud Selig announced in the 2009 MLB draft. Two years later, Mike Trout made it to the big league. Mike Trout’s MLB debut was on July 8^th, 2011, against the Seattle Mariners, he went 0-for-3. In the 3-game series, Trout was 1-for-9, collecting his first career hit in the second game of the series.

If Ryu can?

Hyun-Jin Ryu signed a 4-year contract with the Blue Jays last December. He led the Majors with a 2.32 ERA in 2019 and finished 2nd in the National League Cy Young voting. He was actually a Cy Young award favorite for most of the 2019 season, until he struggled in the late August and early September.

2 RBIs

It was early March 2015. I was sitting on the seat at the Charlotte Sports Park, Florida, watching a spring training game between the Baltimore Orioles and the Tampa Bay Rays. Spring in Florida is always nice, it’s even better when there is baseball. Baseball’s return this year is still unknown, however, the sound of that spring training game became vivid again for me.

Keston Hiura’s High Number

Topps Heritage High Number, for me, is series 2 or update series of Topps Heritage. It’s a cool brand for fans, particularly those who like throwback design. There are 24 packs in a hobby box, one hit per box, however, the hit is most likely a relic card. If you would like to get an autograph, it might be better to consider other brands or you have to be really lucky.
