2025 Philadelphia Phillies Photocards
Orion Kerkerking's 2025 season will likely, and unfairly, be remembered for the season-ending, 11th inning error he made in Game 4 of the NLDS, sending the Dodgers to the NLCS and the Phillies to another disappointing finish to their otherwise successful year.  Kerkerking struggled at times throughout the regular season, only his second full year in the majors, and was 8-4 with a 3.30 ERA in 69 appearances and 60 innings pitched.  He'll be back to bolster the back end of the bullpen in 2026.  Topps somehow ignored him throughout all 2025 baseball card releases, and his ballpark exclusive Kids Club card eluded me completely as the Kids Club kiosk ran out of the card before I had added it to my collection.
