2018 Topps Archives - All the Dodgers Insert Cards

I am finally getting around to posting up pics of most of the Dodgers' insert cards found in packs of 2018 Topps Archives. Check them out below.

1980s Topps Coins

#C-23 Cody Bellinger

Topps Living Set - #73 - Cody Bellinger

The fifth Dodgers' Topps Living Set card will be issued this week and it is of 2017 National League Rookie of the Year winner Cody Bellinger.

Based on the classic 1953 Topps Baseball card design, this new never-ending card-brand began in earnest this season and is expected to continually grow forever. It's Topps cross-generational set that feature original drawings by noted sports artist Mayumi Seto and will include only one card for every player (both past and present)/per team.

Blog Kiosk: 8/29/2018 - Dodgers Links - Some Odds and Ends

The Dodgers aren't playing around anymore. Last nights victory over the Rangers, 8-4, marks their fourth straight win since falling 4.5 games behind the Diamondbacks. Now, they sit only a game back with 30 games to go. Per Ken Gurnick at MLB.com:

"Can't win ballgames by just hitting home runs," said Machado, who has nine RBIs in the last three games. "We're preaching about passing the baton to the next guy, just taking what the pitchers give us. Today, we did a good job with that, stick to the plan and we did our job."

• This Day in Dodgers History: In 1948 Jackie Robinson hit for the cycle against the Cardinals during the first game of a doubleheader. He completed the cycle in reverse -- hitting a homer in the 1st, a triple in the 3rd, a double in the 4th and a single in the 8th inning. The Dodgers won 12-7. In 1980 Dodgers coach Manny Mota is reactivated by the Dodgers to be their top pinch-hitter off the bench. He would go 3-for-7 with two RBI's. In 1987 the Dodgers traded Rick Honeycutt to the A's for young starter Tim Belcher. As you know, he would be an important cog to the eventual world champs in 1988.
