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.

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.

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...)
Well, THAT took long enough.

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