Your Hobby. Your Hangout.
Hey there — I’m JJ Hoover, former MLB pitcher, lifelong card collector, and founder of Hoov’s Hangout.
After years on the mound with teams like the Reds, Braves, D-backs, Brewers, and Nationals, I stepped off the field and into a community I’ve always loved: collecting. What started as a childhood passion for baseball cards and Pokémon turned into something way bigger — a place where collectors of all ages and backgrounds can come together, chase hits, and just enjoy the hobby.
