Topps Living Set - #248 - Dodger Rookie Catcher Will Smith


I am going to look at his selection for this weeks Topps Living Set as a good omen. After all, tonight is the deciding Game 5 game between the Dodgers and Nationals in the NLDS, and Will Smith is slated to start his fourth game of the series today. As you know, he's struggled so far this Postseason (going 1-for-9 with four strikeouts), so a breakout tonight would be great. Go here to check it out and order. You can see a complete checklist of the set here. Below is what's written on the reverse:
Will Smith has given perennial-contender Los Angeles Dodgers an added dimension to their already stacked starting lineup. The rookie catcher slugged 15 home runs in his first taste of the Majors, giving the Dodgers a dangerous option from one of the most important positions on the field.
Below is a current Dodgers checklist of Topps Living Set cards with their corresponding print runs:
  • #17 - Chris Taylor (link here) 4,837 print run
