Team Italy is making their name heard in the WBC; besides making a good cup of espresso, they are also playing great baseball and showing the world that. With all the fanfare, they also have another WBC special Topps Now card offered.
With that, here’s the verbiage on the back:
Team Italy’s perfect run during the 2026 World Baseball Classic continued with their 8-6 win over Puerto Rico. Thanks to a four-run opening frame, the Italians never looked back and reached the semifinals for the first time in tournament history. “I heard that after the last out, the people there were screaming in Italian,” Italy Manager Francisco Cervelli said.
Until then, see you at the WBC. Oh, by the way, one large espresso to go, please!
