Milwaukee Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski pulls his own rare baseball card from pack in Greenfield shop
You'd be forgiven for thinking Jacob Misiorowski was celebrating the strikeout of another poor soul with his 102-mph fastball or 97-mph slider. After all, he hopped back, threw his right arm in the air and cheered, just like he's done after some of the bigger strikeouts in his young career. But the Milwaukee Brewers phenom pitcher wasn't on the mound. He was in a card shop — Brew Town Trading Co. at 4285 S. 76th St. in Greenfield, on July 25. Instead of a glove in his left hand, he had a pack of 2022 Bowman Draft cards. And why the reaction? He had just pulled his very own "orange parallel" limited-edition card from the year he got drafted, one of only 25 such cards in the world. You'd also be forgiven for not totally appreciating the infinitesimally small chances of that happening. As Brewtown Trading assistant manager Tommy Rhyner — who was with Misiorowski to witness it — explained, it was exceptional. Like seeing a triple rainbow. Or finding an entire beach of whole sand dollars. Forget a four-leaf clover, even a five-leaf clover — it was far closer to a six-leaf clover. "I think he has a better chance of getting struck by lightning than doing that again, and not only getting struck by lightning, (but) while holding the winning lottery ticket in the ocean with sharks around him and about to attack," Rhyner said. "You know all those things where you hear millions to one, right? Put all four or five together and that's right around there." Is Misiorowski's reaction starting to make more sense? "He had a true, genuine reaction," Rhyner said. "That's the card that he was looking for, and then to have it serial numbered?" Misiorowksi had been invited to the store to open Pokémon packs — his interest in Pokémon should be evident after he wore a custom suit jacket during All-Star weekend, with the "Lugia" Pokémon embroidered inside. After a few of those, he found the Bowman box from his draft class and wanted to open some of those, as well. Misiorowski got the card at the end of his third Bowman pack. Coincidentally, Rhyner and a couple of other employees mentioned to Misiorowski how cool it is when athletes pull their own cards. A couple minutes later, the Brewers starter got to experience that feeling for himself. It was reciprocated by Rhyner, who called it "probably my best hobby moment in and of itself." While he's seen other athletes come to the store, including four Miami Marlins pitchers who came by only minutes before Misiorowski showed up, no one has been as lucky as Milwaukee's newest sports hero. Before Rhyner started at the store, he said other athletes had pulled their own cards, but the rarity of the one Misiorowski received puts it in a different league entirely. "Just happened that Miz had to hit that big of a card is what made this so big," he said. "We've had athletes pull their own cards. But when it's just a base card, it's not quite as exciting, but still memorable." No one would have blamed Misiorowski for wanting to keep the card for himself. Instead, he signed it and donated it to the shop, a decision that has led to an increase in customers. "This Saturday (one day after the card was pulled)," Rhyner said, "I probably had 12 to 15 people stop in just to see the card." Rather than sell it, with the likely opportunity to make thousands of dollars, Brew Town Trading is building a special shadow box with custom framing for display. As Misiorowski left the store, Rhyner — a big Brewers fan who will be in attendance for the all-star's biggest start to date on July 28 against the Chicago Cubs — gave him a parting message: "Make sure you shove the ball down their throat."

Former MLB All-Star Kyle Gibson announces retirement
Former MLB All-Star Kyle Gibson has announced his retirement at the age of 37. Gibson, a first-round pick in the 2009 Draft by the Twins, last appeared for the Orioles earlier this season before the franchise released him. He then joined the Rays on a minor league contract. And after failing to land with another big league squad, Gibson has revealed he decided to hang his cleats up. 'It's been exciting being home and exciting kind of turning the page to a new chapter,' Gibson said on the 'Serving It Up' podcast. 'I've kind of taken the last couple weeks to call people and text people that I really wanted to let know in person and I'm going to take the next few days and try to write something up and make sure that I can properly thank everybody that needs to be thanked for the last 15-16 years in professional baseball.' Gibson, who ends his 13-year career with a 4.60 ERA, added that he made his decision 'a couple weeks ago.' The Greenfield, Indiana native spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Twins, establishing himself as a trusted rotation arm and racking up 188 starts while in Minnesota. He then joined the Rangers in the fall of 2019 and went on to play some of the best ball of his career there over parts of the next two seasons, as he was named an All-Star in 2021. He was then traded to the Phillies that summer, and spent the next season and a half there before going on to play for the Orioles and Cardinals. In his final season this year, he struggled to the tune of a 16.78 ERA in four games with Baltimore before getting cut. Per Spotrac, Gibson will retire with over $71million in career earnings.
