oddballs and more hammers

Anytime I go through cards, the first thing after bubbles are the oddballs.  I have more fun looking at the backgrounds of cards, the backs and poses more than the stats or accolades.


I've always wondered what Ayala was doing in 1994.  Now I know.  He was ahead of his time.



I hope the players are having picnics with their families.  It sure looks like Jeter is eating a hot dog.
Kranepool's got a better caterer, lobster.

Is this a version of the hidden ball trick.

Will football and baseball compete for awhile in the fall?





More hammers.


Relax

Baseball will be back.
