Worthless Baseball Card Collection "In 1988, the Baltimore Orioles were forced to revert to traditional uniform pants when the button on Floyd Rayford's elastic waist band rocketed into the crowd and injured three fans."

That was good. Though the density of jheri curl jokes (two) grabbed my eye. Those facts must be fake!

Along with most of the hair...

Nice. I think he proved that collection to be far from worthless. I like the one about the guy who was beat up by his own teammates in a brawl. Classic thumbs up goof.

Everyon has an uncle, or older cousin that look JUST LIKE one of these guys

OMG That's almost my entire 1988 Strat-o-matic team roster.

Nice.

You know, I never knew Weird Al Yankovic played baseball at one time for the Mariners. It's also worth noting the guy snapping these photos must have been passing around the same pair of large eyeglasses to anyone who wanted to use them.

Razor Shines!!!!

I never knew Weird Al Yankovic played baseball at one time for the Mariners. Unfortunately, I think that was a style trend back then. The Red Sox had Greg Harris (Greg A., I think) who looked much the same. And once pitched with each hand during the same game.

I want to know why Sparky Anderson got lumped in with that collection of hair product abusers and also rans.

I can't look at Sparky Anderson without thinking back to the old "WKRP in Cincinnati" sitcom (a great show, by the way). In one episode, Herb Tarleck, the sales manager, was working on a call-in sports show hosted by Sparky. In a classic scene, Herb interrupts a meeting involving Sparky, and the radio folks tell him (Herb) to get out. Before leaving, Herb says, "Sparky, one question....Why the white hair?" I loved that show.

Oh, snap! So THAT'S where all the jheri curl juice went!

[this is good] The Sammy Stewart one had me laughing for a couple of minutes.

You know, I have two HUGE boxes of late 80s/early 90s baseball cards sitting on the floor behind me. Now I have a reason to look through them.

No Yankee or Met players in that collection, that's why its worthless.

The pics are bad enough to give ya a chuckle, but the write-up's are great. This one had me rolling aroung laughing... Chris Codiroli's photo shoot with Topps ran nearly 4 hours until he finally landed the perfect pose while bending down to pick up a partially smoked cigarette butt.

Great link. I have alot of those cards!

You're alive?

Where does one enter a jheri curl in a competition? What does one win? And vito90! Your mother and I were worried sick about you!

You win stage time with the "Soul Train" dancers and Don Cornelius (actually, I think Don may have passed on, and if so, I mean no disrespect).

"Lenn Sakata" was probably my favorite Rex Barney intonement.
