2018 Topps Now - #875 & #880 - NLCS Homers by Machado and Turner

This past weekend we witnessed a couple of exciting games in Milwaukee, and if not for some uncharacteristic errors we may have returned home with a 2-0 series lead. Instead, we head into Game 3 very confident by the fact that we now have home field advantage in what is now a five game series.

As you know, Manny Machado started the scoring for the Dodgers on Friday by hitting a line drive home run run to left-centerfield. For his blast Topps issued a Topps Now card (#875) on Saturday that sold 343 copies.

You know what today is, right?

Not only is today Game 3 of the NLCS, but it also happens to be the 30th anniversary of Kirk Gibson's legendary walk-off homer during the 1988 World Series. Let's hope that the Dodgers can do something just as noteworthy on the field today. The game begins at 4:39 PM and Walker Buehler will face-off against Jhoulys Chacin. Go here for some pregame details about this afternoon's game.

• This Day in Dodgers History: In 1988 Kirk Gibson hit his legendary walk-off home run off of Dennis Eckersley of the A's to win Game 1 of the World Series. This happening spawned Vin Scully to utter these immortal words; "In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened."  Go here to watch and listen to it. Arash Markazi at ESPN wrote a great article about the event here.
