On this brand new episode of the Johnny’s World Podcast I am joined by my longtime friend Carl Craig. Carl is the owner of two restaurants in Brookhaven, MS called Magnolia Blues BBQ Company and Serio’s Pizzeria. His recent endeavor is a baseball card shop in Brookhaven called The Bullpen Collectibles.
Opened in April of 2026, The Bullpen Collectibles is your go to card shop for baseball cards and Pokémon cards. We talk about how collecting cards is a generational hobby and we both agree that it’s good to see kids these days picking up the hobby.
At the end of the show we name our favorite baseball players from each MLB team and go through a list that I found of my favorite baseball players from probably 35 to 40 years ago. It was so much fun hearing some of those names. It was a blast from the past!
You keep up with what’s happening at The Bullpen Collectibles on social media from their facebook and instagram pages. Thanks for listening and your support of the Johnny’s World Podcast.
