Brewers phenom Jacob Misiorowski pulls rare Pokémon card in clubhouse
Not only has the Brewers rookie phenom taken baseball by storm with a dazzling start to his career, but the 23-year-old has hot hands off the field as well.
The flame-throwing righty pulled a rare Pokémon card after Friday's win over the Mets, a holographic Charizard — a fire-breathing dragon-like creature — from the original base set that was released in 1999.
Misiorowski's teammates went nuts after he pulled the card, as shown in a video first posted to closer Trevor Megill's Instagram Story.
'That's, like, the big card. So it was fun. It was really cool,' Misiorowski said, per MLB.com. 'It's just crazy that we pulled it in the locker room. I didn't expect anything. I just saw that it was red and I was like, holy [smokes], this might actually happen.'
If the card is in near mint condition, it goes for roughly $455 as is. If it were to get graded by an authentication company, it could be worth more.

A base set Charizard in a gem mint 10 grade by PSA is worth roughly $15,000. There are 489 copies in a PSA 10.
Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins had a few packs of the old cards that he handed out to teammates to open after the team's series-opening win over the Mets, according to MLB.com.
Pitcher Brandon Woodruff is a new collector, and Hoskins let him open a pack.

'For the last couple of months, we have been visiting card shops together on the road,' Hoskins said. 'I've been collecting pretty heavily for the last five years or so since the pandemic. Like a lot of people going through their old things back home, we found nostalgia in our closet.'
The start of Misiorowski's career has been so eye-popping that it earned him a controversial All-Star nod after just five starts.
He has a 2.70 ERA with 47 strikeouts in 33 ⅓ innings across seven starts.
Misiorowski is currently on the injured list with a shin contusion, but threw three simulated innings on Saturday and should be rejoining the Brewers in short order.

Twins reinstate Byron Buxton from injured list to start series vs. Yankees
NEW YORK (AP) — The Minnesota Twins reinstated center fielder Byron Buxton from the 10-day injured list on Monday before beginning a three-game series against the New York Yankees, after the All-Star missed 13 games with inflammation in his left rib cage. Buxton was sidelined just before the Twins tore down their roster leading to the trade deadline. He was batting .282 with 68 runs, 23 homers, 59 RBIs and a .905 OPS in 85 games when he went on the IL, all team-leading totals and averages among players with a qualifying amount of at-bats. The Twins sent outfielder Carson McCusker to Triple-A St. Paul to make room for Buxton, who also has stolen 17 bases in 17 attempts. Despite the rib cage issue and a concussion that cost him time earlier, Buxton has been as healthy as he has in several seasons. He's on pace for the second-most games in his 11-year major league career, behind the 140 games he played in in 2017. ___ AP MLB: The Associated Press

Ivanka Trump Reveals Son Joseph's Adrenaline-Pumping New Hobby in Summertime Snaps
Ivanka Trump's 11-year-old son Joseph just jumped into a brand-new, daring hobby — and it couldn't be further from his grandfather Donald Trump's preferred quiet sport of golfing. The First Daughter shared photos of her son, who she shares with husband Jared Kushner, showing off his exciting new interest. 'Joseph's 1st dirtbike!' Ivanka wrote on her Instagram story last week, per Hola! There was a photo of the pre-teen in a black Mets shirt and hat as he smiled with two thumbs up in front of a red motorbike, which was stored on the back of a pickup truck. She also shared a video of Joseph riding the bike, dressed in a red helmet, matching racing pants, gloves, and a vest. More from SheKnows Sophie Turner Slams Critics Who Claim She 'Forgot' Her Two Kids With Ex Joe Jonas 'Not surprisingly, Babi declined Joseph's offer to take her for a spin,' Ivanka added on her story, sharing a picture of Joseph in his red-and-black motorcross gear next to his great grandmother Babi. The proud mom also posted several photos on her Instagram grid of son Joseph. 'Some summer Sundays,' she captioned the post yesterday. In one photo, Ivanka stands next to Joseph on a boat on the ocean, with gorgeous blue water behind them. In another, the mother and son hung out on a window seat, petting the family dog. She also shared a short video of her and Joseph swinging on the beach, Joseph posing with his new dirt bike, Joseph playing basketball, and Joseph kayaking. (He certainly is skilled at a variety of different sports!) Ivanka shares Joseph and kids Arabella, 14, and Theodore, 9, with Kushner. She is soaking up the summer with her family, focusing on being present as she is not involved in her dad's politics during his presidential term this time around. 'Yesterday marked the halfway point of 2025 and it's the perfect moment to pause and reflect — not to chase perfection, but to honor our progress (even the imperfect kind),' she wrote on Instagram last month, sharing pictures of her daughter dancing outside. 'This 4th of July, let's celebrate independence, and also intention —choosing to live the rest of the year with purpose, joy, integrity and courage. Here's to the rest of 2025: may it be full of growth, gratitude, and grace !' In February, she told Daily Wire that she is not returning to politics or to her previous political roles as Advisor to the President or the Director of the Office of Economic Initiatives and Entrepreneurship. 'The main reason I am not going back to serve now is I know the cost and it's a price that I'm not willing to make my kids bear,' she told the outlet. 'It's very easy to make a decision when it aligns around your core values. My highest most core value is family.' Before you go, check out these celebrity kiddos who .

Jennifer Aniston ‘Having the Time of Her Life' In and Out of Bedroom With Jim Curtis: ‘They Go Deep'
Jennifer Aniston's boyfriend Jim Curtis is making her happy in more ways than one. A source tells Star that the couple 'can't keep their hands off each other' and that the 56-year-old A-list actress 'has confided in friends that she's having the time of her life with him in the bedroom.' 'They started out as friends, and then it evolved into something more because their chemistry and attraction to each other is so strong,' the source claims. However, the source shares that the Just Go with It star and former Wall Street trader have 'more than just a physical connection.' 'They talk for hours, and she says he's helping her work through old patterns and heal,' the source notes. 'Jen feels like she's finally found someone who really checks all the boxes, she's very happy.' The Friends alum was famously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005, and then to Justin Theroux from 2015 to 2018. Per the source, the transformational coach is 'super into meditation and tantra' and that 'he's opened Jen's eyes to a whole new way of connecting.' 'Their dates aren't just dinner and a movie; they go deep,' the source dishes. 'Long talks by candlelight, breathwork sessions, sound baths, he's an evolved guy and isn't afraid to be vulnerable, and that's so appealing to Jen.' Curtis is clearly passionate about all things wellness. 'For the last 30 years, my mission has been to change the health and wellness of the world,' his website reads. 'First as an entrepreneur and executive at companies like WebMD, Everyday Health, HealthCentral and The Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) and now as an author, speaker, coach and educator.' According to the source, The Morning Show star and the hypnotist are looking to the future as they 'started talking about taking a retreat together this fall.' The trip wouldn't be the first time Aniston and Curtis traveled together, as they were spotted in Mallorca, Spain, over the July 4th weekend, per photos obtained by the Daily Mail. On Monday, August 1, the couple enjoyed a double date in NYC with Jason Bateman and his wife, Amanda Anka, according to photos published in the Daily Mail. As Star recently reported, Aniston 'has completely integrated' Curtis into her life. 'She says she knows she's found a keeper,' said a source, 'and he feels the same way.' Solve the daily Crossword
