Your Cards of the Day: Topps gave the first League Championship Series (1969) the full treatment in the 1970 set. Note that all the photos of the Mets and Orioles are at home, despite the first two NLCS games being held in Atlanta and game 3 of the ALCS in Minnesota. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Am giving a Zoom talk tonight at 8PM Eastern about the collapse of the Brooklyn Atlantics, who won the greatest game in baseball history on June 14, 1870 ending the Cincinnati Red Stockings 84 game win streak, but by 1875 were the worst team in baseball history. Sign up: sabr.org/19th-century...

We hear @markhoyle4.bsky.social has a pretty deep Red Sox collection, but does he have the 1962 Dutch Gum card of Tony Perkins as Jimmy Piersall in “Fear Strikes Out?” #CardSky

Fun Cards: 1987 Donruss Diamond Kings Roger Dorn

Roger Dorn has had better days in the field and at the plate, but he continues to show up to the ballpark every day, even if he refuses to take part in calisthenics. He has never been a fan-favorit…

#OTD in 1960. Where does the Maz HR rank on your list of all-time great Fall Classic moments? Does anything top it?

Your Cards of the Day: The Brewers and Dodgers start the NLCS this evening. The first Dodger to play for the Brewers was Ted Savage The first Brewer to play for LA was Al Downing. If you count the Seattle Pilots, the first two are Tommy Davis and Jerry Stephenson. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social
