I can't match this gamer to any specific play, but that's not why it's totally appealing.

This month's item in my Collecting Game-used series is my second -- but not my last -- piece of on-field history for the traveling road show and pop culture phenomenon that is the Savannah Bananas baseball team.

What does that mean? Think baseball meets a circus with side helpings of Zubaz-era WWF and some Talladega Nights-style NASCAR bombast -- but with game rules even quirkier than both. (For a taste, click that link.) It fits perfectly in my game-used collection for my player, former World Series winner, MLB All-Star, first-round draft pick and Moneyball standout Nick Swisher.

Keep reading to see the details this time.

This annual showcase includes another set of commemorative items made just for collectors.

The Baseball America Best of 2025 Awards issue is a jam-packed 74 pages of info and flash as it salutes the standouts of the year and also ranks the top 150 American League prospects as we look forward to a new season. Gracing its cover is Toronto Blue Jays prospect and postseason phenom Trey Yesavage.

Nestled in the center of the issue is a group of four perforated sheets. On the first one, collectors can pull out cards featuring the magazine's award-winners for this year -- Aaron Judge (MLB Player of the Year), Nick Kurtz (Rookie of the Year), Pat Murphy (MLB Manager of the year ... and pocket pancakes mastermind!), Konnor Griffin (MiLB Player of the Year), Jonah Tong (MiLB Pitcher of the Year), Ethan Holliday (High School Player of the Year), Roch Cholowsky (College Player of the Year), Dylan Volantis (College Freshman of the Year) and James Nelson (Independent Player of the Year) -- with their cards recapping why each got the nod. The second sheet recognizes the notable achievements of the year with Julio Rodriguez, Bobby Witt Jr., new 30-30 Club members, Jose Ramirez, Shohei Ohtani, Paul Skenes, Cal Raleigh, Clayton Kershaw, Mike Trout and Yoshinobu Yamamoto all in there for their various highlight moments in 2025.

The final two sheets showcase notable "future prospects" with new draft picks on 18 cards. They include Gavin Fien, Ethan Conrad, Tate Southisene, Sean Gamble, Jordan Yost, Gage Wood, Josh Hammond, Patrick Forbes, Marcus Phillips, Michael Oliveto, Slater de Brun, Mitch Voit, Dax Kilby, Zach Root, Charles Davalan, Jaden Fauske, J.B. Middleton and Brandon Compton with scouting reports and grades on every card.

As with the previous Baseball America sheets, they are perforated to be pulled off as sheets or even broken down to individual cards as part of the double-issue package that carries a $14.99 cover price. They are available in the BlowoutCards.com shop here or in the Baseball America online shop. These sheets have historically only been found in subscriber issues or via these two spots, not in newsstand issues.
