Ugliest Player as Depicted on Card?
Posted By: Jon Canfield
I know this poll cannot compete with the "beater" poll or the "favorite E card poll", however while browsing eBay, I came across an E96 and just seeing the his picture made me wonder who holds the title of having the ugliest, worst picture on a baseball card? I mean, who's picture is so ugly, they surely wished their mug didn't grace the card to begin with? |

This might not be exactly what you had in mind. But a flat-out a$$ shot? C'mon, he couldn't have been happy about that. |

I think this is really an ugly card, but it isn't really the player who is so ugly. This looks like a cartoon, with a wrong-hand glove added in. This card also has a slight color misalignment that makes him look to the stars. |

Hopefully Dan McKee will grace this thread with an r337 of Babe Ruth. At least that's what card says. Looks more like a gorilla in a baseball uniform to me. |

It is mainly the handles on the sides of his head. But they may have been well earned. |

This one was inspired by the posted Freeman and Burns cards -- also cartoonish. (The expression on his face isn't flattering, either -- shades of Lennie in 'Of Mice & Men'...) |

It feels sooooo politically incorrect to say it (especially when I've nagged my kids to death with 'if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all...'). But okay, I'll admit it -- yeah, the poor guy really does have elephantitis of the ears. |

Permit me a tangent away from the topic of "ugly" ballplayers. If memory serves (though it don't serve very well)I recall on the back of one of Don Mossi's fifties cards it says: "Don is a postman in the off-season." That little quote for me has always neatly tidied up the difference between the bygone days of baseball and the modern game. Can you feature any of today's players working a joe job in the off-season? |

Interesting segway, actually -- I'll add my two cents on this point, and then let everyone get back to the business at hand -- selection of baseball's fugliest player. |

If I was a ballplayer (even at the minimum salary of 340K or whatever it is this week) my off season job would be to stay in shape. On the back of '60's and '70's cards you always read how this player sold cars or insurance or whatever in the off season, but once salaries spiked up they didn't need to. Besides expansion, small ballparks, steroids, juiced balls, etc this might be a viable answer to the increase in hitters production and the increased longevity of many pitchers. |

With all due respect to his unfortunate and early end, Addie Joss was not an attractive man. His picture on the E254 Colgan's is pretty bad. |

Max posted a T206 of Egan which is pretty raw when it comes to male beauty. My one and only D381 Fleishmann's is of this same R.J. Egan, and let's just say the T206 sure does enhance his attractiveness. The D381 of him is a close-up black and white head and shoulders shot, and it sure would knock the Wheaties out of those with weak constitutions. Wish I could post it--maybe someone out there with this card could do us all a favor(?)and share this virtual carp out of water man. |

I know Dan McKee has the r337 Ruth. He ever posts a scan of that card, it will win hands down. Ruth might have had the stregth of a gorilla, but it looks like they used a picture of a gorilla instead of Ruth. |

To some, it's tantamount to sacrilege to say anything against the man -- so I'm treading lightly. Let's just say he didn't have "classic features". Some photos of him may be worse than others, but let's be serious here. Have you ever seen a "good" photo or card of him? My grandmother would have said something along these lines: The Babe was first, second, and third in line when God handed out Heavenly gifts and blessings for smacking the ball, but must've gotten out of line to use the men's room when it was time to receive good looks. |

The best desrcription I have heard desribing the Babe's mug is "It reminds me of a well used catchers mit". I forgot who said it. Pretty well said. |
