2018 Topps Inception - All the Dodgers Base Cards

In addition to the release of Topps' Stadium Club brand, they also put out their mid-range Baseball brand called 2018 Inception this week. As you can see, they have a kind-of dark foreboding look to their design. Within the 100 card base set are six Dodger players. Check them all out below. Go here for a complete checklist.

Blog Kiosk: 6/28/2018 - Dodgers Links - Some Odds and Ends


Things seems to be going right, right now. Per Ken Gurnick at MLB.com:
"It's scary facing us, I think," said Bellinger, who has four homers in the last six games. "We're clicking right now. It's fun to be a part of."
...
"Everyone just passes the baton, works the at-bats, gets the pitchers working and we are able to capitalize on mistakes," said Pederson.
Max Muncy, Joc Pederson and Cody Bellinger slugged homers last night to lead the Dodgers to victory over the Cubs, 7-5 (boxscore). BTW, the Dodgers have hit 51 homers in June, and sit just two shy of a franchise record and seven short of the Major League mark.

  • This Day in Dodgers History: In 1907 then Yankees catcher Branch Rickey (who would be known for signing Jackie Robinson decades later) saw twelve Senator runners steal a base on him. In 1969 the Dodgers and Don Drysdale shut down the Padres at Jack Murphy Stadium by the lopsided score of 19-0. They break a LA Dodgers all-time record for runs scored in a game. In 2008 the Dodgers were no-hit by the Angels (Jered Weaver and Jose Arredondo), but still won the game, 1-0. The lone run was scored in the fifth inning when a couple of errors and a sacrifice fly by Blake DeWitt scored the eventual winning run.
