A Few Fantastic Cards to Start the Day
 Poor Rusty. Who’s idea was it to take his photo in front of a chainlink fence by the parking lot? Or did he have a bus to catch back to the minors? By the way, why does it look like he was cut in half by a magician and then poorly reconnected? You want to talk about old man pants; he’s got ’em hitched up close to the elbows. I would bet five dollars that his belly button is below his belt. Also, I bet you another five that he was frightened by the flash for this photo and reached over and ripped that light tower out of the ground...  ...Either Fred Gladding had a medical condition (is that hair growing under his eyes?) or he got to Spring Training late from a double shift down the mines. Whatever the case, the man should’ve taken a bath before he had his card photo taken...  ...Vicente Romo had a brother Enrique who was generally considered an oddball (The Mysterious Enrique Romo). But how’s this for weird: who poses like this by choice? And on more than one card? He was a pitcher, for crying out loud. Show him in his windup. Or was this his windup? Did he crouch, start bobbing up and down while singing Minnie the Moocher and then flick the ball at home plate?... ...Oh, and Willie?  The camera’s down here, buddy. |
