Ferdinand Cesarano Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 On 15/12/2017 at 1:37 AM, Lenny Dykstra said: I remember how some of my old baseball cards were old looking bastards. Sparky Anderson is 39 in this picture. Sparky looked 60 for decades. Here's another guy who looked older than he was, and he is in a "wrong" uniform, to boot. Gaylord Perry was 41 when he pitched for the Yankees in 1981. Compare that to Tom Seaver, who was 42 when he tried to make the Mets in 1987. (Historical note: even though Seaver was in uniform and travelling with the team in June of 1987, he was never activated. Rather than go to AAA to prepare, he participated in some simulated games in order to evaluate whether he could still compete on the Major League level. When those tests went poorly, he called it quits. But, during his time with the team that year, Seaver did get to mill about on the field as the Mets engaged in a melee against, if I remember correctly, the Cubs.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyratk1 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Seaver looks so weird with the racing stripes but that's why he was in the "right team, wrong uniform" thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(probably)notabandwagonfan Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 A-Gon was DFA'd the moment the trade went through. He will never wear this uniform. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyratk1 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane on loan to Leicester in 2013. There's also apparently pics of him from his youth during his one year stay at Arsenal's academy but I don't want to anger Spurs fans.

MCM0313 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 12 hours ago, insert name said: Kurt Warner (center) Is that Mark Brunell to the left of Favre? If so I'm guessing this was in the '94 preseason. Kurt had several tryouts with GB before landing with the Rams. Also: awesome '90s hat he's wearing. EDIT: Of course it's 1994; they're wearing the "75" patches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCM0313 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 13 hours ago, insert name said: Kurt Warner (center) Sorry for the double-post, but this picture is really kind of amazing when you think about it. Out of the four QBs pictured, two are in the Hall of Fame, a third isn't a HOFer but was a Pro Bowler (and played long enough to win a ring as Drew Brees' backup in New Orleans), and the fourth is a Heisman-winner (although he was a career backup as a pro). Quite a collection of talent there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Tab Perry is not a name most people have heard and he spent his entire 3 year NFL career with the Bengals. This is a wrong uniform because this photo is from a 2005 game against the Texans and he's wearing the 97-03 pants. I don't recall ever seeing this before. Other than it not matching up with the stupid white side panel I don't hate how it looks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
