Agreed. There's actually a steady rotation with our bench now, and that helps keep the starters fresh.

I met Chico a couple of weeks ago. Garrett Morris is still going strong!

I thought that too at first, but then realized we'd only see the bottom bar of the backboard and not a full net. It's more impactful this way.
I'm sure they looked at proofs of both during production and decided this looked better.

I was very surprised they used it for a base card as well! Grateful they did though. Photography has always been the strongest attribute of Topps' basketball offering. Panini doesn't even come close!

Thanks for posting this. Today's my birthday, and besides Sammy Sosa, I always wondered which other ball players I shared my birthday with!

I wouldn't mind trying Baty at first actually. I never gave that idea a thought.

I can see that. The Pittsburgh Pirates owner will definitely be complaining about the Dodgers, Mets, etc... If you can't afford to own a team, and understand what it takes to own a team, you shouldn't own a team. MLB is also at fault for approving some of these low rent owners.

I fell in love with Vientos in 2024, and went all-in on his baseball cards. Beyond being a huge Mets fan for 40 years, I do have a bit of a selfish reason to be hopeful he turns it around this year. 😅

Also, I think the expiring CBA agreement on 12/1/2026 is in the back of everyone's mind. Another reason not to add Bregman on a long term contract.

Similar to Alonso in that regard. He needs some more Triple A at bats. Maybe by the all-Star break he'll be ready? I agree with you.
Even Pete Alonso needed the extra year, which is why the Mets tried the Adrian Gonzalez experiment in 2018.
