1986 Topps Jody Davis / Daredevil 227, February 1986

Good morning! ☕️ It’s a #timemachinemonday as we’re traveling back to 1986, when Jody Davis was strapping on the catcher’s gear for the Cubs, Frank Miller and David Mazzuccheli’s seminal Born Again storyline started with issue 227 of Daredevil, and The Descendents cheered up their fans by releasing their classic album Enjoy! 🎶

The first memory I have of opening a pack of cards is when I was 6 years old in 1986. My cool, older cousin (being in high school made him cool by default in my eyes) was with me as I was opening a pack of ‘86 Topps we just got from the 7-11 down the block. I remember him being excited when I got this Jody Davis card (unfortunately I had to re-buy this copy 😢). My cool, older cousin telling me that this was a good player immediately made me a lifelong fan (of course 😆), and the fact that I thought Jody Davis was a fun name and that he looked awesome on this card only cemented the fandom in my head. Come to think of it, maybe this is why I gravitate towards catchers (like Munson)? 🤔 I apologize as I usually like to keep these posts short and sweet, but thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, and I hope this conjures some great memories of your own over some coffee this Monday! ☕️
