2019 Topps Heritage High Number Mega Box - The Shiny Russell Martin Card
As you may know, Topps released an online exclusive 'Mega Box' for their 2019 Topps Heritage High Number brand last week, and it includes an exclusive insert set featuring a handful chromed-out Heritage base cards. It includes only one shiny Dodger card. It is of Russell Martin and you can see it below. Go here for a complete checklist. BTW, you can still order boxes here.
Blog Kiosk: 9/20/2019 - Dodgers Links - Some Odds and Ends
Here is an undated, probably circa 1950's, press photo featuring several Dodger players celebrating at Ebbets Field (eBay auction link). As you can see, the players are surrounded by several stadium employees, complete in full Ebbets Field regalia. On the right are a couple of fans milling about. In fact, the fellow on the far right appears to have stolen a Brooklyn cap right off the head of an unsuspecting Dodger player. You can see the Dodger player (who I can't identify) reaching for his missing cap, and an usher forcefully grabbing for said cap.
Unfortunately, we don't have a description of the event to tell us more, but I think it's fair to say that you shouldn't be be like that guy.

- This Day in Dodgers History: In 1907 the Dodgers are no-hit by Pirates rookie Nick Maddox, 2-1. In 1959 the Dodgers and Giants play the last ballgame ever at San Francisco's Seals Stadium. The Dodgers defeated the Giants 8-2. The Giants would play at Candlestick Park the next season. In 1993 pinch-hitting machine Dave Hansen collected his 18th pinch-hit of the season to set a new franchise record. In 2011 Clayton Kershaw becomes the first Dodger twenty game winner since Ramon Martinez in 1990. He defeats the Giants 2-1.
