    Christmas and Baseball Cards | Cards Central 365
    2025/12/26
    Joe Roderick and Ryan Fagan used this holiday edition of Card Central 365 to step away from roster talk and dive into the nostalgia of baseball cards, sharing personal stories that tied the hobby closely to Christmas and winter memories. Fagan talked about how he now donates large portions of his card collection to Greg Poole’s Cans charity in Southern Illinois, which distributes baseball cards to kids and seniors to brighten their holidays, reflecting how his lifelong love of collecting has evolved into a way to give back He also shared how his passion began in the late 1980s, recalling riding his bike to buy packs of 1987 Topps cards, and even told a memorable story about dropping prized Todd Worrell rookie cards into the snow after being startled by a neighborhood dog—an experience that’s stuck with him decades later. The conversation then shifted to Joe’s memories of receiving a massive 1990 Fleer box set for Christmas, leading into a humorous breakdown of the infamous “junk wax era,” including a critique of Fleer’s off-center cuts and bland designs, and the realization that childhood sticker-covered doors may now be hiding unexpected value.

    On the Christmas Day edition of Card Central 365, Joe Roderick is joined by Randy Karriker for a nostalgic and lighthearted holiday conversation centered around one of the most memorable Christmas Eve moments in modern Cardinals history — the surprise free-agent signings of Andy Benes and Ron Gant in 1995. Karriker recounts how, while working at KMOX, he broke the news live on Christmas Eve and then hosted an open-line show that drew jam-packed phone lines for two straight hours, illustrating just how deeply Cardinals baseball resonates with St. Louis fans, even on the holidays. The two reflect on how shocking the moves were at the time, how different the economics of baseball were in the mid-90s compared to today, and how those signings signaled a turning point in the franchise’s direction under new ownership and Walt Jocketty’s leadership.

    All I Want for Christmas Is… Brendan Donovan extension? | Cards Central 365
    2025/12/24
    In this holiday edition of Card Central 365, Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaefer dive into the uncertain future of Cardinals standout Brendan Donovan and the broader direction of the organization under new president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom. Schaefer explains why, despite personally wishing for a long-term extension for Donovan, he believes the Cardinals are more likely to trade him while his value is at its peak following an All-Star season, especially given the club’s ongoing payroll reset and prospect-focused approach. The discussion also touches on recent salary-shedding moves, the organization’s long-term rebuild timeline, and why the front office appears to be prioritizing cost control and flexibility over immediate contention. The episode closes with holiday well-wishes and reflections on how young players like Jordan Walker, Masyn Winn, and Victor Scott will ultimately shape how quickly the Cardinals can return to contention.
