April 30, 2025 | Listen Online | Read Online From 2013: Topps' Secret Code I wrote this admittedly bizarre but also kind of wonderful post a dozen years ago, shortly after I got a complete set of 1976 baseball cards. I was even more nuts then than I am now. I’m reposting it here as I wrote it then — errors and all — because it leads into an item in Thursday’s Batting Order. I hope you enjoy. January 15, 2013 I spent joyous hours sorting a bunch of old Topps cards, putting them in plastic pages, flipping the pages, reminiscing about the Father-Son cards and the Sporting News All-Time Player cards (as a kid I ALWAYS seemed to get the Pie Traynor). It really is a blast. I get lost in them. Here are the Sporting News All-Time All-Stars as of 1976 (and who would probably be on the team now): 1B: Lou Gehrig (Same. Pujols could pass him, maybe) 2B: Rogers Hornsby (Same. I prefer Joe Morgan) 3B: Pie Traynor (No. It would be Mike Schmidt. George Brett has his fans) SS: Honus Wagner (Same) RF: Babe Ruth (Same) CF: Ty Cobb (No. Willie Mays) LF: Ted Williams (Same. Barry Bonds could not win an all-time election) C: Mickey Cochrane (No. Johnny Bench or Yogi Berra, I think) RHP: Walter Johnson (Maybe same. Greg Maddux or Tom Seaver — Pedro Martinez or Roger Clemens) LHP: Lefty Grove (Maybe same. I happen to think Randy Johnson is the best lefty starter ever) But the point today is not the cards themselves. Today, for your benefit, I have done what I have to believe is one of the most pointless research projects in the history of Planet Earth. I have gone deep on the Topps Numbering System. When I was a kid, I noticed — as countless kids before and since have noticed — that while the Topps numbers on the back SEEM random (not by team, not by position, etc.), there was an odd coincidence: The best players seemed to get the round numbers. I don’t remember this hitting me all at once — it was just something I noticed. Hey, Tom Seaver is No. 200! Hey, Johnny Bench is number 500! That’s weird! And the more it went on, the more I thought: Did they do this on purpose? And then I started to realize: Oh yeah, they DEFINITELY did do this on purpose. The biggest stars very often have card numbers that end in 00 or 50 (I call these "Topps Prime" cards to make them sound important — I even capitalize "Prime"). But it’s not just the prime players. Even minor stars almost always have numbers that end in 0 as well. Let’s look at a few of my 1976 cards from 360 to 410: 360: Jeff Burroughs. Former MVP. 367: Bruce Miller 370: Ron Cey. The Penguin. All-Star. 374: Dan Warthen 380: Bobby Bonds. Another All-Star. Mr. 30-30. 386: Ed Goodson — who along with Bill Todman produced The Price Is Right and … oh, no, that was Mark Goodson. 390: Don Gullett. Ace pitcher of world champion Reds. 393: Paul Mitchell 400: Rod Carew. Annual batting champion. Superstar. Hall of Famer. 406: Ed Hermann 410: Ralph Garr. Batting champion. All-Star. And so it goes. Tito Fuentes? He gets No. 8. Lou Brock? He gets No. 10. And so on. So here was my idea: I figured I could go through all the Topps checklists — yes, I said all the Topps checklists (hey, this is my blog, not yours) — and pull out the players whose cards ended with 50 and 00. And I would see which players have been most honored by Topps. And, more to the point (as if there is a point), I would see which players were viewed as truly great and popular and awesome WHILE they were playing. One of the things people say about Jack Morris is that he was viewed as a dominant pitcher during his playing days. Well, I honestly don't remember it that way. I remember him being a good pitcher, but I don't remember him being Tom Seaver or Jim Palmer or even Ron Guidry. So, I thought, hey, why not see how often Morris' card ended with a 00 or 50. Let’s create a scoreboard! Before we get to that scoreboard, though, here are a few quick words about the scoring process, which should interest you even less than the rest of this: 00 is better than 50. The best of the best get 00 on the end. The players who have 50 at the end of their numbe

Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2025 April 30 A Happy Sky over Bufa Hill in Mexico Image Credit & Copyright: Daniel Korona Explanation: Sometimes, the sky itself seems to smile. A few days ago, visible over much of the world, an unusual superposition of our Moon with the planets Venus and Saturn created just such an iconic facial expression. Specifically, a crescent Moon appeared to make a happy face on the night sky when paired with seemingly nearby planets. Pictured is the scene as it appeared over Zacatecas, México, with distinctive Bufa Hill in the foreground. On the far right and farthest in the distance is the planet Saturn. Significantly closer and visible to Saturn's upper left is Venus, the brightest planet on the sky. Just above the central horizon is Earth's Moon in a waning crescent phase. To create this gigantic icon, the crescent moon phase must be smiling in the correct direction.
