OT - What's the saddest facial expression on a Baseball Card?

[wolf441]

For me, it has to be this one. It looks like they told Fernando he was traded about 4 seconds before this picture was snapped...

Saddest: Lou Brock on any Cubs card.

Happiest: Lou Brock on any Cardinals card.

Sad face or no, this one has always made me a little sad.

Someone took his bottle before he was finished.

Maybe not sad, but he sure looks mad, doesn't he!

Sucks to be a Cardinal!

I don't have a scan of it handy but there is one of the poses of Pete Hotaling in the Old Judge set where he is holding his stomach. I have always thought it looked like he was about to vomit, definitely one of the "strangest" poses on a card.

Hoyt Wilheim nearly ruined the poor guy.

Rhett:

I think you mean this card (scan from an auction - not a personal example). Definitely one of the more curious poses from the Old Judge set:

[brob28]

Looks like he's lost his dog.

[leaflover]

Maybe not the saddest, but he looks a little pissed.

How has this thread reached page two without mention of the saddest-looking man to grace a Topps card on multiple occasions? Poor Bill. That wad of chewbacca permanently lodged in his left cheek ultimately cost him most of his tongue.

Like the 63 Tuttle above, I was first made aware of this Tex Clevenger card in the book The Great American Baseball Card Flipping Trading and Bubble Gum book. I think the authors said it looked like after a stint of being hit hard, that Tex was considering getting out of the baseball business.

Gee Tex maybe you should.

That isn't the one.

When I get home from work I'll see if I can find a scan of it somewhere.

He doesn't look any happier in 52 Topps shot either.

[rhettyeakley]

This is the one I was thinking of, he has a strange smirk on his face (so not really sad, I guess) but it does look like he is about to lose his lunch!

[Jobu]

Doesn't it have to be any card featuring "Sad Sam" Jones?

[CW]

The '33 Goudey Todt is pretty good.

The '65 Tuttle had me laughing out loud. Good one!

Just when you think we've covered all of the possible topics about cards...

I think Joss was having a bad day when Mr. Horner decided to photograph him.

[Troy Kirk]

Not exactly a baseball card, but a pretty sad card nonetheless:

He might have it coming out of both ends, from the way he is holding his stomach and rear end.

[glchen]

The Babe doesn't look too happy here. Maybe it's a bellyache.

I love this one!! "C'mon, BIG SMILE....aaaaaannndddd, say CHEEEESE!!!"

[JollyElm]

This card adds a different kind of sadness into the mix. Look at that surrendering grin on Bobby's face. He's thinking, "Man, how in heck did I NOT launch that one into the seats???!!!!!"

I've always thought Mel Ott looked a bit unhappy on his 1933 Goudey............
(Not my card.......wish it was).

[Leon]

It looks like he is saying "how the heck did I just hit myself in the face!!"

Even worse, being traded to the Crapinals.
