400 HR for One…
Mike Trout continues to show his power as he smashed his 400th career home run with a 485-foot shot that looked like it went into infinity and beyond. With that, his Topps Now card had said the following:
Up in the Rocky Mountains, Angels superstar Mike Trout finished his own personal climb in the Club's 3-0 victory over Colorado. The 34-year-old connected on his 400* career home run in the top of the eighth inning, reaching a milestone that has eluded him for some time. Trout is the second active player to reach the milestone and just the 20th player all-time to hit 400 with a single team.
Retirement for Another…
On the other side of town in Los Angeles, Clayton Kershaw has decided to call it a career, retiring at the end of the season with the Dodgers.
Here's the wording from the back of his Topps Now card:
Announcing 24 hours earlier that he would be retiring following the 2025 season, Clayton Kershaw's final regular season start at Dodger Stadium became the hottest ticket in town. 53,073 fans packed the stands to watch the 37-year-old take the mound - enjoying a 6-3 win over San Francisco. "The guys have gone above and beyond the last few days for me," said Kershaw. "Winning is the most important thing for us, especially right now. But that was special."
Until then, see you at the park!
