1988 Topps Ep. 29 - Tony Peña (#410/351) by @1988toppspodcast.bsky.social #cardsky

An unfortunate baseball name for a school on the south side of Chicago.

Ohhhh, fired up the newest @ewpod.bsky.social and they brought up Robinson Cano’s 4000 hits. I raised an eyebrow in anticipation…and then they said @adarowski.bsky.social was going to join! Yesssss! Listen on your podcatcher or here: blogs.fangraphs.com/effectively-...

Was looking for a future episode and got irrationally angry at Don Slaught for having a 16 year career.

I ran out of characters to say that Boddicker was really good in Boston! 7-3 as the Morgan Magic Sox took the East in 88 and 17-8 in 1990! 118 ERA+ over 3.5 seasons, better than his Baltimore era+!

This week, the Orioles last 20 game winner, a 1983 champ...Mike Boddicker! Boddicker was a rookie in 1983 and won a ring! He won 20 and was a 1984 All Star. After a few tough years he was sent to Boston for Brady Anderson and Curt Schilling. Listen: 1988toppspodcast.blogspot.com/2025/09/mike...

Star of “The Office” Jeff Ballard? Yup, we got you covered! 1988toppspodcast.blogspot.com/2025/05/jeff...

And for my in flight entertainment, I’d like to thank 1988 Topps Podcast for introducing me to an absolute lady killer, Tom “The Terminator” Henke

This is so niche and neat. I would have probably never come across this podcast otherwise but I know what I’m downloading for my plane ride tomorrow. Immaculate Grid is going to hate to see me coming.

Remembering some guys: the podcast.

Steve Jeltz!

Age verification? I co-host a podcast about 1988 Topps baseball cards.

this is an automatic fine, i can't allow this

As discussed on the Mike Flanagan episode! Manchester, NH, the chicken finger capitol of the world…now coming for the Buffalo Tender crown?

The guys did a great job covering the story of Bob Knepper.

“Hi, I’m Nate Silver. I am a millionaire with multiple best selling books who lives in Brooklyn, went to UChicago and the London School of Economics, is addicted to Twitter, and spends much of my time compulsively gambling, and I’m here to tell you what ‘normal people’ are into.”

I mean, sure, someone might, but mine is just full of Nokes and Seitzer and Jeltz.

Davey Johnson has died at age 82. He was a 4-time All-Star second basemen who hit 43 home runs in 1973 - 1 of 3 Braves players to reach the 40 HR mark that year. He also won 1,372 games as a manager, won the 1986 World Series with the Mets & was a 2X manager of the year. nypost.com/2025/09/06/s...

For a second I lost my Expos hat in the pit at the PUP show. But you know what, it’s great vibes in the PUP pit, and it came back to me.

Mr. Brownstone

What was shocking was that Bob Knepper said that about his experience in San Francisco in the late 70s early 80s. Well before he spouted off about Pam Postema he said - “I didn’t have freedom of religion, or almost freedom of speech.” The playbook hasn’t changed, just the venue!

Thank you! Bob Knepper, he’s something else!

This week we talked about a guy who Houston’s chapter of National Organization of Women called the Neanderthal of the Year for his comments about a female umpire. It’s Bob Knepper. Bob was a 2 time all star who couldn’t keep his mouth shut. Learn more: 1988toppspodcast.blogspot.com/2025/09/bob-...

I've complained about AI slop hero stories in the past. Here's some more if you want to lose faith in technology and critical thinking skills. BS story about Tyson Bagent giving $5 million to fight homelessness. The AI breakdown of the responses to the story should just say “this story is fake.
