Michael Rubin on the Future of Sports Cards | Sneak Peak of Fanatics Fest 2026 | Topps Rip Night The hobby is officially BACK.On this episode of Sole Free with Harlan Friedman, we head to Topps Rip Night at Long Island Sports Cards in Albertson, New York, where collectors, fans, and some major names in the sports world come together to celebrate the culture of trading cards.Harlan sits down with Long Island Sports Cards owner Jonathan Chasen to talk about how the hobby has evolved from flea markets and folding tables into a full community experience for collectors of all ages.Then things get even bigger when Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin stops by to talk about the explosive growth of sports cards, the rise of athlete collectors, and what fans can expect at the next Fanatics Fest.We also dive into nostalgia — from the cards everyone chased growing up like Mickey Mantle, Ken Griffey Jr., and Don Mattingly, to the sneakers that defined a generation.This is the intersection of sports, sneakers, culture, and collectibles.Welcome to Sole Free — your home for sneakers and culture.

The guys break down a wild listener idea should the Jets sign Daniel Jones just to sabotage the Colts' draft pick? Then it's Yankees vs. Mets beef, as the crew uncovers New York's shadiest social media move (RIP Giancarlo's childhood Mets hat), an urban legend about Andy Pettitte, George Steinbrenner, and a certain blue-and-orange Little League cap, and Ken Griffey Jr. drops one of the greatest one-liners in sports history. Plus: Kyler Murray, Russell Wilson's passive-aggressive podcast tour, and Miami of Ohio's undefeated season flying under the radar.

Welcome to Tablesetters, where early-season baseball storylines are evaluated through context, projection, and structural impact rather than isolated spring highlights. As camps begin to stabilize, several early narratives are beginning to shape the broader landscape of the 2026 season — from international competition to emerging prospects and roster uncertainty around the league. We begin with the return of the World Baseball Classic, which arrives just as MLB spring training reaches its most competitive stretch. The tournament brings together 20 national teams competing across Tokyo, San Juan, Houston, and Miami, running through March 17. Japan enters as the defending champion after defeating Team USA in the 2023 final, while the United States returns with a roster built to pursue redemption. The Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico also enter the tournament with lineups capable of making deep runs. Exhibition games leading into the tournament have already produced early signals. Team USA delivered one of the loudest statements, routing the San Francisco Giants 15–1. Paul Skenes dominated in his outing, striking out four hitters across three innings without issuing a walk, immediately reminding everyone why he has quickly become one of the most overpowering pitchers in the sport. Offensively, Alex Bregman launched a home run while Roman Anthony — a late addition to the roster after Corbin Carroll suffered a broken hand — delivered a two-run homer. The lineup surrounding them featured star power throughout with Aaron Judge, Bryce Harper, Bobby Witt Jr., and Byron Buxton. Japan's preparation was less smooth. Samurai Japan dropped an exhibition game despite a solo homer from Masataka Yoshida, a reminder that even the defending champions are still working through early-March rhythm. The tournament officially begins when Chinese Taipei faces Australia in Tokyo, opening the round-robin stage where five-team pools compete for two quarterfinal spots. Team USA opens its tournament Friday against Brazil before quickly facing Great Britain, Mexico, and Italy as Pool B begins to take shape. From international baseball we move to a structural shift arriving in Major League Baseball this season: the Automated Ball-Strike challenge system. Rather than replacing home plate umpires entirely, the league is introducing a hybrid model. Each team begins a game with two challenges, and only the pitcher, catcher, or hitter can initiate a challenge immediately after a call. If the challenge is successful, the team keeps it. Spring training has quickly become the testing ground for how teams will actually use the system. The Minnesota Twins have been among the most aggressive teams in challenging calls, leading the league in overturned decisions early in camp as they experiment with the margins of the strike zone. Meanwhile, the Athletics have stood out for efficiency, posting the highest challenge success rate in baseball so far by winning roughly seventy percent of their appeals. Leaguewide data suggests about half of all challenges are overturned, reinforcing the idea that the biggest edge may belong to players with elite strike-zone awareness rather than teams that simply challenge the most. Spring training has also produced several intriguing individual and organizational storylines. In Detroit's system, Kevin McGonigle is beginning to look like one of the most advanced young hitters in professional baseball. The 21-year-old shortstop recently opened an exhibition game by launching the first pitch he saw from former All-Star Luis Severino for a home run. McGonigle's combination of strike-zone discipline, elite contact ability, and emerging power recently earned him an 80-grade hit tool evaluation, the highest grade scouts can assign to a hitter. In limited spring action he has posted a .400/.471/.667 line, further reinforcing the belief that he could eventually become one of the defining hitters of the Tigers' next competitive window. In Colorado, the organization's long search for stability at first base continues more than a decade after Todd Helton's retirement. This spring that conversation centers around Charlie Condon and TJ Rumfield. Condon, the third overall pick in the 2024 draft out of Georgia, arrived in professional baseball with one of the most dominant offensive seasons in recent NCAA history, hitting 37 home runs while batting .433. His raw power could eventually play extremely well at Coors Field. Rumfield represents a different profile — a more experienced hitter who spent all of last season in Triple-A hitting .285 with an .825 OPS. Colorado now faces a familiar decision between accelerating a high-upside prospect or relying on the steadier upper-minors bat. Atlanta is dealing with a far more complicated roster situation. Jurickson Profar is facing a potential 162-game suspension after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug for the second time within the past year. Under MLB's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, a second violation results in a full-season suspension and forfeiture of salary. Profar is expected to appeal the decision through the MLB Players Association, which leaves the Braves in a difficult holding pattern as they attempt to plan their Opening Day roster. If the suspension stands, Atlanta will suddenly need to replace a projected middle-of-the-lineup bat. Finally, one of the most closely watched prospects in baseball continues to generate attention in Pittsburgh. Konnor Griffin, the 19-year-old shortstop and the No. 1 prospect in the sport, has already launched three home runs in limited Grapefruit League action. Griffin's power-speed combination has drawn comparisons to some of the most dynamic young players in the game. Last season he hit .333 with 21 home runs and 65 stolen bases across three minor league levels, eventually finishing the year at Double-A. The bigger question now is timing. If Griffin were to make the Opening Day roster, he would become the first teenage hitter to debut in the majors since Ken Griffey Jr. in 1989. The Pirates may still choose to delay that debut for development or service-time reasons, but early spring performances are beginning to make that decision far more complicated. Spring training often produces noise, but the themes beginning to emerge this year feel more substantial: the return of baseball's biggest international tournament, a technological change that could reshape the strike zone conversation, and a wave of young talent preparing to define the next era of the sport. The season is approaching quickly. And the real signals are starting to appear.

Former MLB pitcher Matt Clement joined the show. Matt talked about the challenge players may have going from Spring Training to the World Baseball Classic, back to spring games then the regular season. He said the schedule can be wonky for someone like Paul Skenes, who is pitching for Team USA. The guys pointed out some pitch limits for guys in the WBC. Matt doesn't think Skenes will go close to a 95-pitch limit in a game with the US. Matt thinks a deal happening could be the difference between Konnor Griffin being on the Opening Day roster and not – no deal likely means he will start in Triple A. The guys asked Matt about meeting Tony Gwynn and a loaded Padres team that was fresh off a World Series appearance. Matt said he was in awe of pretty much everything during his first spring. Matt talked about Gwynn's masterful work at the plate and how he could have hit more home runs if he really wanted to. Matt was surprised to find out he never gave up a HR to Ken Griffey Jr. Matt had some funny stories about facing Barry Bonds early in his MLB career. We looked through some other funny Matt stats from his playing days.

How much longer are we going to wait around for Aaron Rodgers? Do the Steelers have a deadline on it? Poni's moles indicated that the Steelers would know yesterday about Rodgers, but if they do, the secret has survived 24+ hours. With legal tampering starting on Monday, how much longer can the team afford to wait? Last year, the Steelers bowed down and waited around for Rodgers to make his decision, but how much of that had to do with Mike Tomlin? The guys wondered if the Kenneth Gainwell situation is a tell as to where the Steelers are with Rodgers. Is anyone out there pounding the table for Rodgers? It feels like it's more of an acceptance than actually wanting Rodgers back. Daniel Jones just got tagged for $37M by the Colts. Does that make people feel better about Aaron Rodgers? People just love a bargain. Former MLB pitcher Matt Clement joined the show.

Season 7, Episode 24 of Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank is officially The Willie Mays Episode — because in Frank's book, Willie Mays is the greatest all-around baseball player to ever step on a diamond. Kobe Bryant? Ken Griffey Jr.? Great choices. But this week, the Say Hey Kid gets the nod.Dan and Frank open in the post-football lull of the sports calendar — though as they quickly prove, there's never really a slow week. The Cowboys dominate early discussion, starting with Dallas franchise-tagging wide receiver George Pickens. Frank applauds the move, arguing that the Cowboys wisely avoided backing up the Brinks truck for a long-term deal given Pickens' “knucklehead” reputation — even if he's essential to keeping the offense competitive.Then comes the real cap-space debate: Brandon Aubrey. One of the best kickers in the NFL wants elite money — reportedly around $10 million per year. Is that justified? Or is paying a kicker that kind of money a luxury a defensively-struggling team simply can't afford? Dan makes the hard cap argument, while Frank wrestles with how often kickers truly swing outcomes. It's roster construction vs. clutch performance — and the Cowboys' front office has tough decisions ahead.From there, the conversation shifts to the NFL Combine — or as some call it, the “Underwear Olympics.” Do 40-yard dash times for offensive linemen really matter? Does bench press strength translate to Sunday performance? Dan questions whether the Combine is more made-for-TV spectacle than football evaluation — and floats a bigger idea: why doesn't the NFL formally partner with the UFL to give third-string quarterbacks and developmental players real game reps? The discussion becomes a broader critique of how the league handles player development.The Olympics segment brings passion back to the forefront. The guys celebrate Team USA's dramatic gold medal victories in men's and women's hockey — both 2–1 overtime thrillers over Canada — and reflect on how rare it feels to simply enjoy a patriotic sports moment without controversy. They tackle the media backlash surrounding political narratives, White House invitations, and postgame reactions, ultimately arguing that the Olympics should be about representing your country — period.Then comes a fascinating debate sparked by a CNN article: Norway tied the U.S. in gold medals and surpassed America in total medals at the Winter Olympics. Why? Norway claims it's because youth sports in their country emphasize fun, participation, and no scorekeeping until age 16. Dan isn't buying it. He argues the explanation is cultural and geographic — winter sports are embedded in Norway's identity in ways they simply aren't in most of America. It becomes a deeper look at how culture shapes athletic pipelines, why the U.S. dominates in basketball and football, and why hockey participation remains limited compared to Canada and Scandinavia.The episode closes with updates from MLS correspondent Daniel Hooks (including Champions League and upcoming U.S. national team matches), a shout-out to Ignite and Tony Dungy, and reflections on faith, community, and church life at First Baptist Church of Phillipsburg.As always, the show wraps the only way it knows how: loving sports, loving Jesus more, and inviting listeners to be part of both conversations.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/

Welcome to another episode of The Rizzuto Show, the daily comedy show that proves nostalgia is just disappointment with better branding.Today's episode kicks off with the downfall of childhood “investments,” as Magic: The Gathering collectors accuse Hasbro of flooding the market and tanking card values — which immediately sends the crew spiraling into baseball card trauma. Remember when a Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card was supposed to pay for college, a house, and early retirement? Yeah… about that.From there, things take a turn toward the supernatural when we ask the important question: can a rock band curse an NBA team? After an arena employee blames a satanic-looking concert for the Orlando Magic's losing streak, we dive headfirst into modern Satanic Panic, Ghost's spooky theatrics, and whether teams should sage their arenas instead of practicing defense.Then it's off to Westeros, where the new Game of Thrones spinoff raises serious questions — like where everyone goes to the bathroom, why HBO is obsessed with realism in the weirdest ways, and whether giant fake dongs are now part of the network's brand strategy. Things escalate quickly as the crew debates gratuitous nudity, legacy characters, and which original GoT character would theoretically win a very unnecessary competition.The back half of this daily comedy show delivers a full round of Crap on Celebrities, including music collabs, Super Bowl ads released way too early, outrageous ticket prices, Dirty Dancing sequels, James Bond movies that aged like milk, and a Ken doll promo video that is genuinely unsettling. Add birthdays, pop culture hot takes, and classic Rizz Show derailments, and you've got another beautifully unhinged episode.If you like your pop culture commentary sarcastic, your nostalgia roasted, and your comedy slightly concerned for humanity — welcome home.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MOSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of Sports the NEMO Way we bring the best Reds starting 9 to the table for discussion. The Reds a lot of great players on this team. A lot of Hall of Famers and one player who should of been a Hall of Famer decades ago but it took him dying for them to usher him in, but without me being a Debbie downer lets just appreciate the Reds in all their glory instead of harping on the MLB big mistakes in the past. With that said have a great day everyone and see you all next week ... Peace.

Ken Griffey Jr. is one of the greatest baseball players of his generation.A first-ballot Hall of Famer, Griffey Jr. defied his generation's appetite for performance-enhancing drugs.

 Ellen Adair and Eric Gilde discuss the 2001 movie "Hardball." They introduce the film (1:34), with an overview of the story, the cast, and filmmakers, and review the 20-80 baseball scouting grades for rating the film, with a new metaphor (8:14). In Amount of Baseball (17:50), the scouts initially disagree, but slightly convince each other. Ellen has two potential player comps. Baseball Accuracy (25:26) compares this Little League play to other films, with just a couple of editorial / geographical issues. Ellen defends Frank Thomas's honor and digs in on Sammy Sosa's consecutive homers, and records by Ken Griffey Jr, Don Mattingly, and Kevin Mench. That is not Wrigley. Those are not NBA games. Luis Garcia's dance step is considered. Storytelling (39:23) is a real challenge, when the entire inveterate gambler storyline does not work. Plus, white savior problems, a very confusing moral, and a complete lack of necessary exposition. There are so many unanswered questions. How does he earn their trust? Why does G-Baby have to die? Eulogy issues, uniform issues. At long last, the Score Tool (1:24:13) is only a partial respite, with some small problems of its own. They consider some of the soundtrack songs, including "Ghetto," "Hardball," "Big Poppa," "Where the Party At," and R. Kelly. Acting (1:30:21) considers the ceiling and floor of a slightly mis-cast Keanu Reeves. Diane Lane was trying, John Hawkes had an impossible task, D.B. Sweeney deserves better. Young actors Michael B. Jordan, Bryan Hearne, Julian Griffith, and DeWayne Warren almost save the movie. Neither Delightfulness of Catcher (1:39:26) or Delightfulness of Announcer (1:40:27) offer much. In Lack of Misogyny (1:41:00), they discuss the insipidity of the lame romantic subplot.

Navigating locker room politics, skeptical players, and the pressures of big league life, Billy tries to prove that heart (and kid logic) might just beat experience.AIR DATE & PLATFORM FOR LITTLE BIG LEAGUEJune 29, 1994 | Theatrical ReleaseCAST & CREW OF LITTLE BIG LEAGUELuke Edwards as Billy HeywoodTimothy Busfield as Lou CollinsJohn Ashton as Mac MacnallyAshley Crow as Jenny HeywoodKevin Dunn as Arthur GoslinJason Robards as Thomas HeywoodDirected by Andrew ScheinmanBRAN'S LITTLE BIG LEAGUE SYNOPSISIt's little league baseball time, folks, and little Billy Haywood is a bit of a baseball genius. He knows all the rules and even helps the ump with a call. Unfortunately, he's not very good at actually playing baseball himself. Billy's grandpa, Thomas, comes to watch him play, and he just seems like a normal grandpa—until we find out he's filthy rich and owns the Minnesota Twins.Billy goes to a Twins game with Grandpa, and it's clear all the players know and love him. Grandpa convinces Billy's mom to let him come back on Tuesday night to see Roger Clemens pitch. But when Billy gets home to get ready, he finds out Grandpa has passed away—and left the team to him.Billy takes this responsibility seriously. When he decides he doesn't like how the manager is running things, he fires him. After a brief search, Billy appoints himself as manager. The players are skeptical, but Billy promises that if he doesn't get the last-place Twins moving up the standings in a few weeks, he'll resign.Things start rocky, but after Billy implores the team to just have fun and fall in love with baseball again, they begin to win. Meanwhile, Billy's life outside baseball starts to shift. His buddies notice he's always busy, he has to bench one of his favorite players, and things get complicated when his mom starts dating one of his players—Lou. To make matters worse, Billy curses out an ump in front of his mom.When his mom decides to go out with Lou for her birthday, Billy spite-benches him, which leads to a losing skid. Eventually, Billy admits he's not having fun anymore and tells his mom he's tired of being a grown-up. He apologizes to the team and reinstates Lou.The Twins bounce back, and after winning their last games, they face Seattle in a one-game playoff. Down to their final out, Lou steps up to the plate. Before batting, he tells Billy he asked his mom to marry him, and she said, “Ask Billy.” Billy tells him he can marry her whether he hits a homer or not.Lou faces Randy Johnson and smacks a long fly ball to center—it looks like a home run, but Ken Griffey Jr. robs it. Season over.Billy tells the players he's officially stepping down as manager. They push back, but he insists he'll still be around as owner. The movie ends with Billy being told no one has left the stadium—they're all cheering for him. He goes out for the curtain call.

Hour 1 We started with a great night of baseball for the locals, with the Yankees clinching a playoff spot and the Mets coming back to beat the Cubs. It felt like a special night for the Mets. And where is Keith Hernandez? Is he sick? Jaxson Dart is starting for the Giants this weekend at home against the Chargers. Even though Russell Wilson had a great game against Dallas, he threw terrible interceptions last week. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Yankees beating the White Sox and clinching a playoff spot. We heard the sounds of Howie Rose as the Mets came back to beat the Cubs as Brandon Nimmo had a 3-run game tying HR. Francisco Alvarez homered in the eighth which ended up being the game winner. Al actually had a new song about Jaxson Dart. Mike ‘I'm a man, I'm 40' Gundy was fired by Oklahoma State. In the final segment of the hour, WFAN producer Brian Rascona told Gio that Ken Griffey Jr was walking around the Ryder Cup and nobody seemed to notice him. Hour 2 Jaxson Dart is getting the start for the Giants this week. Nobody really talks about the pressure a quarterback faces in their first real NFL game. Boomer brings it up, but you don't hear many other people talk about it. It's different from the pre-season. Boomer likes Dart's attitude compared to some of the other rookie QBs that came to the Jets and Giants. Jerry returns for an update, but first Gio wonders if the teams being bused back and forth for the Ryder Cup are listening to the show. Jerry starts with Ian Poulter criticizing American golf fans. Brandon Nimmo hit a game tying 3-run homer as the Mets beat the Cubs. Francisco Alvarez ended up hitting what ended up being the game winning HR. The Yankees beat the White Sox and clinched a playoff spot. The Guardians have overtaken the Tigers and former WFAN Adam ‘The Bull' was so excited he made a weird noise. In the final segment of the hour, a caller wonders if Daniel Jones will get a big contract in Indianapolis (he will hang up and listen). Hour 3 We started the hour with the Jets as they play in Miami on Monday night. One of these teams is going to be 0-4. There is pressure on Mike McDaniel and Tua. In 2 of the 3 games, the Jets were very competitive. A caller wonders why the Giants even brought Russell Wilson in if they had already signed Jameis Winston. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Howie Rose and the sounds of the Mets beating the Cubs to get back in charge of their own destiny. Brandon Nimmo hit a game tying HR and Francisco Alvarez hit the eventual game winning HR. Jerry compares ‘douche bag says what' from the 1990s to ‘Boomer will cream pie me' from this morning. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about Gary Cohen's comments last night about a Cubs player missing a game to attend Charlie Kirk's memorial service. We continued arguing about the phrase, ‘control your own destiny'. Hour 4 Nicole Rae from Skratch Golf is in the studio to talk about the Ryder Cup. They hosted us for our trip to Pebble Beach as well. Jerry returns for his final update of the day, but first Gio gives us alcohol prices for drinks at the Ryder Cup. Jerry starts with the sounds of the Yankees beating the White Sox as Caballero had a walk off single. We heard Howie Rose on the call as Francisco Alvarez homered making it 9-7 Mets. Micah Parsons was asked how it will feel when he sacks Dak this weekend. The Moment of The Day: Al has a new song, reminding Gio of marriage. In the final segment of the show, WFAN producer Brian Rascona checks in from the Ryder Cup.
