Ready for more? Here is 8 more of the best teams from baseball's great history. History's Best of the Best 11.
🕰️ Step into the dugout of time with History’s Best of the Best 11 — a legendary card set that takes you on a whirlwind tour through eight iconic cities and eras that shaped the soul of baseball.
We begin in 1940 Cincinnati, where the Reds, led by MVP Frank McCormick and Hall of Fame catcher Ernie Lombardi, clinched their first World Series since the Black Sox scandal of 19192. Then it’s off to Baltimore in 1941, where the Elite Giants of the Negro Leagues dazzled fans at Bugle Field, featuring future Hall of Famer Roy Campanella and a roster that embodied resilience and brilliance.
Next stop: Cleveland, 1959. The Indians, under Joe Gordon, surged to second place in the AL with sluggers like Minnie Miñoso and Tito Francona, capturing a moment of transition and promise. From there, we rocket into the drama of 1964 St. Louis, where Bob Gibson’s fire and Lou Brock’s speed powered the Cardinals to a miraculous comeback and a World Series triumph over the mighty Yankees.
In 1972, Chicago’s South Side roared with Dick Allen’s MVP season, as the White Sox revived their franchise with swagger and power. Then we hit the Bronx in 1985, where Don Mattingly and Rickey Henderson lit up Yankee Stadium, and Billy Martin’s fiery leadership pushed the pinstripes to 97 wins.
Milwaukee in 1992 brings us Paul Molitor’s graceful bat and Jaime Navarro’s steady arm, as the Brewers quietly posted one of their best seasons ever. Finally, we land in Oakland, 2002 — the Moneyball miracle. With Scott Hatteberg’s clutch hits and Barry Zito’s curveball magic, the A’s won 20 straight and redefined how baseball could be played.
⚾ This isn’t just a card set — it’s a time machine. Each team, each player, each city is a chapter in the epic saga of baseball. Relive the glory. Rewrite the legends. Collect the Best of the Best.
