How John Elway was drafted by the Yankees | 'It's Gotta Be Elway!'

Topps tells the story of how George Steinbrenner famously drafted Hall of Famer John Elway to the Yankees in the 1981 MLB Draft. Elway was selected six spots before Tony Gwynn, one of the greatest hitters in baseball history. Narrated by the one and only, Larry David.

So how did this happen…? Well as Mr. Steinbrenner will tell us, “It’s gotta be Elway!”

Dream Draft Picks makes its triumphant return in 2024 Bowman Draft featuring a John Elway New York Yankees baseball card. This card represents the idea of “What if… John Elway was never traded to the Denver Broncos and followed through on his threat to the Indianapolis Colts to pursue a baseball career?”. Now collectors will be able to collect the base card and chase the auto card in this year's release.

The icing on the cake would have been Costanza walking in at the end.

I saw Elway play right field for the Oneonta Yankees at a Geneva Cubs game.

Stephen A talking baseball? This must really be an alternate reality.

So I'm guessing that's why he forgot to sign the reds /5. He slept through his alarm and just quickly mailed them back to Topps.

Bailed at 12 secs. Stephen A Smith is insufferable.
