Buster Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 You know the card. I had never heard the whole story but here it is:http://www.cnbc.com/id/28116692 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I still think hes full of it. This was the 1989 Fleer set, which means it was pictures of the 1988 season. The season where the Orioles started 0-21, with Bill Ripken on the cover of SI during the streak. They lost 108 games that year, he was frustrated his father was fired, Cal was sulking and rumored to be traded to the Mets. So he wrote F*** Face on his bat as frustration of the season and posed with it. I don't know if he expected it to go on a card but he posed it perfectly to ruin the picture. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh huh, yeah right. Were you there? I don't think so, so your story has no validity to it. Sorry, try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yac12 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Maryland and Ohio are among the best state flags. Iowa (birth state) and Wisconsin (state grew up in) have dull flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElwoodCuse Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 What's really awful about state flags is how many of them have the name of the state in big letters on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_Idiot Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I know i'm a total homer, but i'm surprised nobody has mentioned this classic: No dull crests, and not a single obnoxious letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I know i'm a total homer, but i'm surprised nobody has mentioned this classic: No dull crests, and not a single obnoxious letter. But approximately 24 million obnoxious residents. On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame. Knits Rockne made up George Tip's death bed speech.
