Step into a time capsule with Chris as he opens up a pack of 1991 Score baseball cards and takes a heartfelt look back at the larger-than-life players that defined his childhood—including the legendary Bo Jackson and underrated closer Brian Harvey.
⚾ A Personal Journey Through 1991 Score
This episode isn’t just about cardboard and stats—it’s about memories. Chris vividly recalls collecting these cards as a kid, marveling at their colorful designs and dreaming about the careers of the athletes featured in each pack.
One card in particular brings it all rushing back: Bo Jackson, the two-sport phenom whose athleticism transcended baseball and football. Chris describes Bo as “a superhero without a cape,” a once-in-a-generation talent who made kids believe the impossible was possible.
🏟️ That All-Star Game Moment
Chris revisits Bo Jackson’s unforgettable home run in the 1989 MLB All-Star Game, a towering shot to dead center field. What made it even more iconic? It happened while President Ronald Reagan and the legendary Vin Scully were in the broadcast booth, marveling right alongside America.
It’s these little moments—etched in memory and enhanced by the simple joy of collecting—that remind us how special that era really was.
💥 Also Featured: Brian Harvey
Though not a household name, Brian Harvey was one of the best closers of his time. Chris remembers pulling his cards constantly—and even though he didn’t have Bo’s fame, Harvey was the kind of player whose presence on a card still sparked interest and admiration.
