The biggest storylines of 2017 have included rookie sensations Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger. They are both known for their insane home runs and great personalities. Kids love them, Majestic makes special shirts for them, they get comparisons to greats, and everyone wants a piece of them. The Topps Trading Card Company answered these demands when they released Topps Chrome 2017, the first 2017 baseball product to feature both Cody Bellinger and Aaron Judge autographs in an all around wide release product. Bowman Platinum also had Judge and Bellinger autos but the product was a Walmart exclusive. The highly acclaimed product was released on August 2 at 12:01, and sold out on the Topps website within 6 hours. The product price has risen from $81 to $130. Another contributing factor to the product’s success is the cover boy, Aaron Judge.

Cody Bellinger Hits for the Cycle!
On July 15, 2017, Dodgers’ rookie sensation Cody Bellinger accomplished one of the hardest feats in baseball. He hit for the cycle. The cycle in baseball is when a batter hits a single, double, triple, and home run in the same game. As of July 16, there have been five cycles this year: Nolan Arenado, Wil Myers, Carlos Gomez, Trea Turner, and now Cody Bellinger. Along with his four hits, Cody drove in three RBIs and scored two runs. He became the youngest player to hit for the cycle at exactly 22 years of age and became the first Dodger rookie to hit for the cycle.
