 There's NO other Brooks picture that is better than the constipation look?

Brooks Robinson
-1 Come on...the '58 Brooks card is a fine looking card. Plus, you have to admit he has the syle thing going as well; just look at the jacket underneath his jersey. Now there's a trend setter!
Of course I do collect Brooks so I may be a bit partial; just a bit though. Apology accepted k-dog

I read somewhere that Brooks was asked about this card and he said he had just finished sprints in spring training when the photographer snapped the pic and that he hated the card. Not sure how true that is, I can't remember where I read it, but it makes sense based on the pic.

I am happy to see the 66 Mossi represented. Actually came here to post that.
I do not, sadly, have a scan of the back of the 1971 Jerry McNertney, IMO the ugliest image on a card EVAR. If anyone can hook me up with a scan it would be appeciated. Actually most McNertney cards are pretty ugly. I once met Bob Humphries who was his batterymate and he said he just took bad pictures, but really Humprhies looked a lot like McNertney so he may not have been the best person to ask.

He was a minor-league coordinator of some kind when I was in the Brewers organization, so during the season he'd travel and spend 4-5 days at a time with the various clubs. One day in Stockton in 1986, he came out of the shower during the time between batting practice and the game. As he was drying off, he yelled across the room to our trainer, "Hey, Skid, come over here and shave my back." Yes, he was serious. Last edited by Rob D.; 03-18-2011 at 01:10 PM.

I've always wondered what Walt Williams' thoughts are on the '51B Paul Richards.

If an athlete did that now, Upper Deck would be there to gather up the shavings for a "Game Used Back Hair" card.

thanks for sharing Rob. I would love to hook up some time and hear the accurate true accounts instead of theory from a sofball coach.
