Whenever I see his skinny head topped by a hat seventeen sizes too large...

...all I can imagine is that he took the cap off the bullpen buggy that brought him to the mound and wore it...

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

May you all find someone who looks at you the way Long and Moryn look at Ernie Banks.

Buzz Guy certainly fits the facial expression, don't you think? And talk about unfortunate luck, this Bob Gibson was also a pitcher.

This card requires a little story to go along with it:

I bought this card on eBay and when I got it in the mail I noticed the return address listed Pat Neshek as the sender. I knew his name and realized I'd purchased this Greinke card from a former MLB pitcher and All Star.

Then I found this article where Neshek talks about Greinke being the only guy in baseball to blow him off when he asked for an autograph and I've always wondered if Neshek sold the card because it made him sick to look at:

That Barry Sanders card made me think of this card.

Shocking!
