Each “Happy Hobby Sports Card Newsletter” pack has a handful of great sports card subjects, helping sports card collectors working with limited budgets – like me!

Which Sluggers Have the Most 21st Century Home Runs?

Who do you think are the five biggest home run hitters from this 21st century? I’m sure you can think of some of the more obvious sluggers, like those that came into the league right at the turn of the century, like Albert Pujols and Miguel Cabrera. But can you piece together the other three? They’re actually quite surprising!

We also share one of Patrick Imhoff’s Fanatics’ fixes, which are always entertaining and thought-provoking. (We really need Fanatics’ decision-makers to listen to these podcasts!)

Finally, I look at the active career home run leaders over at Baseball Reference, and start making some predictions over which active MLB players have a chance at reaching the 500-HR Club!

Discussion about this podcast

"Happy Hobby Sports Cards" Podcast!

Happy Hobby! We talk about sports card collecting hoping to help collectors working with a limited budget. With a positive, family friendly mindset, we discuss hobby news and recent releases, while also looking back and talking about vintage cards and players from decades past. It's like opening a pack of cards with 11 with different sports card subjects!

This podcast is essentially the read-out-loud version of the "Happy Hobby Newsletter," published every other Thursday on Substack.

I’m David Gonos, former Fantasy Sports columnist at CBS Sports, Sports Illustrated and The Athletic. In 2021, I was inducted into the Fantasy Sports Writers Hall of Fame. (No, really, that exists!) I’m also a sports card collector working with a limited budget, so I create content based around just that!

I got my YouTube channel going in 2021, and I’ve been posting two or three videos up each week ever since. It’s a fun, free, festive spot to talk about cards, collecting and … cards. I don’t take myself too seriously, so I beg that you don’t take me seriously either.

We also do a ton of giveaways to subscribers!
