Topps Now: Aug. 7, 2020 and Aug. 8, 1973

 I bought these on the same day and received them at the same time, so they get shown off together.


1.  Alex Verdugo.  On Aug. 7, 2020, Verdugo hit two home runs for the first time in his career with the Red Sox, and second time overall.  What made that game really impressive though was his home run-saving catch in the ninth inning.

2.  Orlando Cepeda.  I HAD to grab this one.  Cepeda does not have a ton of Red Sox cards, since he did only play one season with Boston.  Cepeda hit four doubles in one game on Aug. 8, 1973.
