Kids grow up dreaming of what being an adult can be like and for Edwin Diaz, his critical save last Wednesday for the New York Mets over the surging Los Angeles Dodgers was the kind of experience dreams are made after Timmy Trumpet played his rendition of the song “Narco” as the closer entered electric Citi Field much to the delight of fans in attendance and those viewing on SNY. The live performance by the talented and charismatic musician from Australia wearing a customized Mets jersey while dancing away has been forever immortalized by Topps NOW via a limited edition, collectable card. Celebrating this grand entrance by Diaz from the bullpen and his resulting save that kept the defending World Series Champions, the Atlanta Braves, three games back of the Mets in the chase for the 2022 NL East pennant with under a month to go in the regular season was truly priceless. This historic MLB sporting event was captured by many a fans’ smart phone videos and the SNY crew. The Sports Techie community blog curator requests a Seattle Mariners team card be made after they make the playoffs this season because it’s been since 2001 since the team last qualified for the postseason earning them the longest active playoff drought in men’s professional sports leagues played in the United States. This Timmy Trumpet intro is a one-of-kind, treasured and commemorative Topps Now card only available to fans today, Friday, 9/22, until 2 p.m. ET at the company web site.

Sports Techie, I’ve written several blogs about Topps including about the Bundesliga NFT trading cards by Ava Labs and the exclusive Trevor Lawrence NFT Collection. Who can forget the TOPPS NOW® card depicting Major League Baseball opening night first pitch in 2020 by Dr. Anthony Fauci after it sold a record 51,512 copies.
These are the times to relish, memories that last a lifetime. Thanks to Diaz, Timmy Trumpet and the Mets, and to Citi Field and SNY, for all making this so and our virtual gratitude goes out to Topps Now for commemorating the occasion with the rare card.
A lot can happen during September for the Mets, Braves, Dodgers, and Mariners, as well as all the other Major League Baseball teams chasing the postseason dream.
Remember this classic sport analogy, you still have to play the game.
See you later sportstechie in Seattle, Atlanta and around the world!
