Like Father Like Son Good Bye Home Run

When the Topps 2020 Series One checklist was released, there was one card listed that was a bit of a head-scratcher.  Listed as a Cubs card, #325 was called "Like Father Like Son."

Topps has had these types of cards before and one of them showed a Cub.

But I couldn't think of anyone currently with the Cubs that has a dad that played in the majors. The only possibility I came up with is Dwight Smith, Jr., who's dad played for the Cubs. So who is on the card?

Now that the cards are out I have the answer.

Topps messed up.

This is card #325.  It's called "Good-Bye, Home Run", not "Like Father, Like Son."

There is a card in the set with that name, #61.

The checklist from Topps names this cards as "Manny Being Manny".

Turns out that card is #15, showing Manny Machado.  The checklist says that #15 is "Hollywood Heroes"  But the real "Hollywood Heroes" card is #298.

And how is #298 listed on the checklist?  "Big Air Big Hair".That card is #72.

Then the checklist has #72 as Good Bye Home Run, which as we now know, is the Cubs card, #325.

Turns out that nine out of the ten checklist cards were misnamed on the checklist that Topps released.

Here's how Topps messed it up the checklist they issued.....

#15 Hollywood Heroes is actually Manny Being Manny

#18 Christian & Nolan is actually Master and Apprentice

#31 Close Call is Close Call --- this is the only one listed correctly

#61 Manny Being Manny is actually Like Father Like Son

#72 Good-Bye Home Run is actually Big Air Big Hair

#85 Soaking It All In is actually Tim and Yolmer

#157 Master and Apprentice is actually Soaking It All In

#160 Tim and Yolmer is actually Christian & Nolan

#298 Big Air Big Hair is actually Hollywood Heroes

#325 Like Father Like Son is actually Good-Bye Home Run
