1961 Topps #141 Billy Williams In 1961 Billy set the team record for both homers and RBIs by a rookie. The RBI record is gone, the HR record was tied yesterday. I know Billy is excited by this team and doesn't mind seeing the records gone.
2015 Topps #616 Kris Bryant Your new rookie season HR and RBI leader. He hit a bomb yesterday that made it to the back row of the bleachers.
2015 Topps Chrome #24 Addison Russell Just when it looked like the bullpen might give away another game, Russell made a spectacular game-ending play. He's so smooth with the glove, hit bat is coming around, and he's just 21 years old.
2015 Stadium Club #92 Jorge Soler Just before Bryant hit his bomb to the bleachers, Soler smoked a laser beam into the left field seats. Having him healthy and hitting will really add to the Cubs chances.
Don't worry. Joe Maddon is also smarter than me.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that Soler card before. I think it would look great with an IP autograph. I'll have to track one down before the Cubs Convention.
Lastly, I didn't see the game live on TV yesterday, but once I saw the highlights on the internet I couldn't stop watching the Russell play to end/save the game. If I were the official scorer for that game I would have given the save to Russell, not Strop.
