Cal Ripken, Jr., 1993 Milk Bone Super Stars #12

Man alive...I cannot believe that it took me 16 years to get my hands on this majestic card. It largely speaks for itself, but what jumps out at me is Cal Ripken's Cosby sweater. That is a COS-BY SWWWEEEAAATTTEEERRR! (link not safe for work: naughty words)

holy moses that is an awful sweater! the hat isn't really doing too much for him either.

The card itself is strictly kickass though, and I don't think I've ever seen it before.

Beardy - IIRC, there is also a Brady Anderson card in that set.

It looks like one of Bill Cosby's old sweaters from the Cosby Show!

Kevin said...

Fred - Quite so.

By association to Cal, that dog probably plays a lot better than some of the guys we currently have.

Kevin said...

Paul - Matt Albers resembles that remark.
