Look at me, gotta be, Centerfield!

On to baseball, and what's not to like. I have years and years and brands upon brands. I still think the 70's and early 80's has to be the greatest era though. Only a few brands and some great looking cards.

I told you it was coming and here it is...the GREATEST moustache in the history of sports. Go Rollie!!!

This has to be the best team card ever. Why don't they make team cards like this anymore?!? Though come to think of it, they don't really make team cards anymore, do they. Whatever, this thing is awesome!

Glasses of the early 80's. Not only do players wear contacts now, but they're missing out on these Wall Street beauties!
Yes kids, emulate your favorite players.
His name really is listed as "Wonderful Terrific Monds". Really. Note that this is a minor league card. I never heard of him prior to this card. Perhaps Wonderful Terrific was a bit presumptuous.
Finish that beard and you've got Abe Lincoln in that top hat.
If the hat can't fit on your head, your fro's too big.
What's not to love about these Braves uni's? Why don't they bust these out on throwback night?!?
Is this one of those beer helmets with the dual straws?
Blurry picture aside (profound apologies), love the blue uni collars. Only the White Sox...
Lots going on here...the tinted glasses, the thick stache...this guy was really a pro athlete?

Lots to love about this uni too. The hat, the stripes...maybe the Pirates would start winning if they brought back this look. Don't forget the hair!

Jim Bob Duggar played baseball?!?

Princess Lea...you played OF for the Royals!
Gotta see the collar twice to truely appreciate it.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all!

  1. Craig Kusick (the guy with the glasses and moustache) reminds me of Landfill from the movie Beerfest.
