Coming off the large and in charge Future of the Franchise Program, we get the smaller Sizzling Summer Program. This program will lead into the MLB All-Star break and includes four new Takashi Okazaki cards as the bosses. You will get to select two of the four bosses as you make your way through the program, and it will be available for the next 17 days and change. There are two new throwback packs available within the program as well, so let’s run through all the new cards and goodies.
Sizzling Summer Program
Takashi Okazaki Bosses
- Takashi Okazaki Honus Wagner
- Takashi Okazaki Mike Piazza
- Takashi Okazaki Rollie Fingers
- Takashi Okazaki Stan Musial
As of now, I would probably go with Stan Musial and Rollie Fingers as my two choices. I can’t hit with Piazza for whatever reason, and Wagner is great but I’ve used him a bunch in the past already.
