2019 Topps

#579 Andrew Benintendi

There really was no doubt from the time I pulled this out of the pack. Game 2 of the World Series, really great catch, the standings in the background...the only thing wrong with this card is that the ball is cropped out. In spite of this "slam dunk", there really were some great shots...#322 Brian McCann, #529 Chance Sisco, and #389 Victor Caratini give us three awesome plays at the plate . #310 Javier Baez, #440 Dustin Pedroia, and #428 Pablo Sandoval give us three nifty tag plays on the base paths.
Uniquely:

Enrique Hernandez #117 making a nice sliding catch
Adam Engel #196 taking away a home run
Adam Cimber #550 twisting like a pretzel
Francisco Lindor #269 doing his best Michael Jordan shrug
Yoan Moncada #377 sheding his helmet for effect?

In Shohei Ohtani's checklist card #367 and the Mets team card #497 we get two very artsy shots. Austin Barnes #456 reminds me of Caleb Joseph in 2018. And Mitch Garver #277 reminds me once again of Willie Horton in his 1969 WS card. This also gives you a quick look at how far our photography has come in 50 years!
Finally, it takes a couple hall-of-famers from 1964 to make the 1984 set look nice! Ernie Banks #T84-16 and Willie McCovey # T84-76 were two in a big set of 1984-style reprints. Just a note, these two combined for 1033 home runs :)
