As a run up to the launch of a new podcast called "Game Stories" produced by Marist's Center for Sports Communication, please enjoy this never before heard interview with @davidjroth.bsky.social (taped at Topps HQ in 2023) about men, their friendships and the "guys" who help mediate them.

There was a professional soccer player briefly in MLS named "Hunter Jumper" not necessarily an occupational last name, but delightful nonetheless.

We got a fun update on one of our episodes from a couple years ago! I love that there's someone running social media for a Belgian baseball team who thought "we HAVE to share this hot Joel McKeon news with the 1988 Topps podcast!"

They were right.

This one was a good one! We are getting some old episodes posted!

Born September 28, 1963 in Knob Knoster, MO, today is Charlie Kerfeld's 62nd birthday! A key part of the 1986 Astros, he went 11-2 with a 2.59 ERA. He liked the Jetsons, pro wrestling, and eating ribs in the bullpen...Charlie is one of our favorites.

we have only briefly mentioned them, I can't remember why?

Beniquez is on our to-do list because he has a SABR bio AND @baseballhall.org Card Corner! But he also played forever, so I have put him off!

Have you guys entered the world of 1988 Topps box bottoms? I forgot about these and why does Juan Beniquez have one?

Why am I looking up Beniquez? I was checking out his BbRef page and saw he played until 88 and wondered if he was in the set

I didn't hear this sad news until now. In addition to his 5 years in the MLB, he spent 4 seasons as a member of the Nippon Ham Fighters in Japan. RIP Brian.
