Steve Finley, 1989 Upper Deck #742



In their ongoing efforts to break new ground in baseball card photography and presentation, I'm sure that Upper Deck thought they were capturing Steve Finley in a moment of intense contemplation as he prepared to bat. Instead, a half-deflated chewing gum bubble makes him look like nothing so much as a slack-jawed goon. Swing and a miss.

  1. with steve finley's already egg-like head elongated by his mouth being open, and then on top of that his hat resting on top of his head, late-80's style with a very large crown, this might be the longest head in baseball card history...
