He did it again.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched another complete game this season in game two of the World Series, and what a gem it was. He not only stunned the Blue Jays but also the fans by his exceptional pitching, and with that comes another Topps Now card.
Here’s the narrative on the back of his card:
Not only did Yoshinobu Yamamoto carry the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 5-1 Game 2 win by going the distance, but he also joined franchise royalty in the process. Yamamoto becomes the first Dodgers pitcher since Orel Hershiser to fire back-to-back postseason complete games. Hershiser did so in the 1988 World Series, one of which being a complete-game shutout.
Until then, see you at the park.
