The fourth installment of Topps "582 Montgomery Club" membership sets have just arrived in collectors mailboxes. As you know, earlier this season Topps unveiled an exclusive membership club for Baseball collectors that includes numerous exclusive sets.

This time around, the set pays homage to the 1951 Ringside boxing card set. It has 20 cards in the set and includes Dodger phenom Cody Bellinger. Go here for a complete checklist.

Blog Kiosk: 9/5/2019 - Dodgers Links - Some Odds and Ends


You can't stop Pederson!

Last night he walloped two home runs to give him 32 on the season. He also has five home runs over the past 8 plate appearances. Per Ken Gurnick at MLB.com:
“Just riding the wave,” said Pederson. “Swinging at pitches I’m able to handle. It’s really fun.”
During this recent short stretch he recorded six consecutive at-bats with an extra-base hit to tie a National League record set by Larry Walker in 1996.

The Dodgers 7-3 victory over Colorado last night reduces their "Magic Number" to four games. The photo above via Jon SooHoo/Los Angeles Dodgers 2019 at Dodger Insider. Go here to check out more pics from yesterdays game. Below are more links to check out:
  • This Day in Dodgers HistoryIn 1908 Brooklyn Superbas/Dodgers hurler Nap Rucker throws a no-hitter against the Boston Doves/Braves at Washington Park in Brooklyn. He struck out 14 and walked none en route to a 6-0 victory. In 1951 Gil Hodges hit a grand slam off Phillies pitcher Ken Johnson -- his 37th homer of the season and a new Dodger single-season record. In 1955 Don Newcombe hit his seventh home run of the season to establish a National League record for home runs by a pitcher in a season. It was a three-run jack in the fourth inning to give the Dodgers a 4-1 lead. Newk would eventually throw a complete game to win his 20th game of the season, 11-4. In 1978 both the Dodgers and Angels have their home games postponed due to rain -- a rare occurrence in the Southland.
