1972 Cardinals...Was Someone at Topps on LSD??
In the Lou Brock thread, his 1972 card came up and I remarked how it's always bugged me that his picture is on such a drastic and distracting angle. So I decided to look at a bunch of Cardinals cards from that same set and holy cow!! A whole bunch of them have pictures with this same tilt, every one of them listing to port! (It's most obvious if you simply look at the backgrounds.) And there are probably others, too. Since this was a decade of hippies, free love and wild drug use, I've come to the conclusion that someone in the Topps layout department was tripping pretty hard!
