Odd baseball cards

[Gantry]

THe VJ Lovero one is also on the Clark/McGwire pic, must be the photographer/artist or whoever.  Puckett was still sexy in that photo (in fact I captioned it "Sexy Kirby, pre-lardass" on the db) but a recent one would be NSFW...

[BeeJay]

The VJ Lovero cards were part of an Upper Deck subset shot by Lovero.  He was an SI photographer or something.

[Gantry]

That for the info BeeJ...  I said "artist" before because the Clark/McGwire pic almost looks like a painting, but it obviously wasn't:

If they were naked, they'd each have the exact same expressions on their faces.

[Gantry]

They were naked, that's why I thought it wasn't real.  They painted on uniforms...

that one of will clark on the rangers with cowboy boots and hat is terrible.

There are only 3 pages.  That's probably easier than Octo saving them all.

Hey guys,
My name is Bob Torba, Jr.   I'm he site owner of the "Funny and Strange Baseball Cards".   Thanks for taking the time to check it out.  I hope you enjoy the funny baseball cards.

I also appreciate it that you didn't "remote link" the images from my server, as it would eat up my limited bandwidth.

Here's the direct link to the site:

Nails, he was thanking us for NOT remote linking in the first place, not telling us to stop.  I think Gantry may have misread this too.

Welcome to Dee-Nee in any event, NYJFan!  You ever play any RBI?

[Gantry]

I was wondering why I couldn't find any remote links when modifying the posts, it was because I can't read....

Correct.   It looks like most, if not all of the images placed on this thread are hosted on photobucket.  Anyway, if I recall, my host (bravehost.com) doesn't allow "hot linking" of images with the package deal I have with them.

Thanks for the welcome.  I don't think I've ever played RBI, sorry.

This is a regular issue card from the 1975 Topps set.  It's one of my favorites, though, because it's the only card I know of where the position listed for the player is Pinch Runner. 



Herb Washington played in 100 or so games without ever batting or playing the field.  Only a pinch runner.

Holy crap, that's unbelievable, he really never has a PA or an inning at a postion, combine that with the fact that he stole 31 bases in 48 attempts, that's terrible, but he scored 29 runs in 1974.  I never heard of this before, thanks EDF.

[Big Hath]

wow, I wonder if there are more instances of this happening

[ericdavisfan]

This is another great card from the standard set.  1976 Topps this time.

Kurt Bevacqua:  Bazooka Bubble Blowing Champion



I have this card, as well as the Washington card.

On the back of this card, it has the tournament bracket.

HOF'er Johnny Bench was ousted by Bevacqua if memory serves.  There were several players of note in the contest.
