I've got a couple of these cards. 1991 was a landmark year.

Great 1991 Albums:

The Jesus Lizard - Goat
Slint - Spiderland
Nirvana - Nevermind
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque
Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted

Some of those I like (a lot) more than others...
...but it was a banner year.

I'm still waiting for the modern player to contribute something as beautiful as Merkle's Boner or Snodgrass' Muff.

Saw him hit one of his few home runs back in 1982.

Met him a few months back. He owns a sausage and meats company here in Atlanta (kielbasa is outstanding) and he came into my local bar to convince them to buy his lamb hambugers. He gave me a sample. Very tasty.

Billy Beane
Kirby Puckett
Chet Lemon
Rawley Fingers
Cal Ripken

And I always thought Ricky Henderson was a fantastic power name.

Longest name is MLB, as I recall. Last I knew, he was living in Winder, GA, and having a tile bathroom put in by... ME. No shit. (That was 12 years ago...)

That's the name of the leader of the fat kids camp on a Mr. Show sketch. I never knew it was real person.
