John Updike? On a baseball history podcast? Updike was a huge baseball fan and though he didn’t get to write alot about his favorite sport, what little he did is incredible. On a completely separate vain, we talk about the Curse of the Billy Goat. How expelling a barnyard animal from Wrigley Field in 1945 cursed the Cubs all the way up to 2016. We talk about the odd events attributed to the curse and the odd attempts at exercising it. Wax Pack Heroes this week is a couple of 1989 Topps packs. Can we top last weeks goldmine?

We pull ALOT of commons in Wax Pack Heroes. If you've got those Tom Foley or Ernest Riles cards just sitting around you can donate those commons to charity and maybe spark a child's interest in baseball and collecting. Find out more here: http://commons4kids.org/
