Welcome to Part Two of the tall stack of cards that I received from Night Owl (Part 1 is here). Picking up right where we left off...
Once again I must ask you to forgive the un-smart crop job done by my supposedly smart printer. This 1962 Topps is a complete card, but my printer lopped off the right edge. Grrr!
Perranoski, originally from the land of Springsteen, was the pitching coach in what I used to refer to as Lasorda's mafia, which was made up of Tommy Lasorda's long-time coaching staff. That group of coaches worked together 15 years or more.
How about a Cy Young winner on something too big to be a real stamp, but too small to be a real card? Unfortunately, my brilliant scanner decided to lop off three of the deckle edged sides...
Here's a soccer player advancing the ball with his hand...
N.O. is almost single-handedly keeping my O-Pee-Chee supply chain up and running. Who's down wid o-pee-cheeeeee?
Gimme some more 70's mustache...or, in o-pee-chee parlance, le moustache.
How do you say lousy manager in French?
One can fit a whole lotta goodness in a big stack of cards. Such as food issues...
Full-bleed, double exposure bulldogs...
Glorious, golden-framed, gold medal wearing managers...
NEWWWWWWW Piazzas,
You can even hide some boring, ugly cards in a big ol' stack...
Even Gibby looks bored by the design |
Good thing he can't see the urine yellow back |
Speaking of ugly, here's a card that personifies the trade of Pedro Martinez for Delino DeShields...
Every stack worth its height needs some tribute cards...
Capping off this mad stack from New York, is a fistful of cardboard devoted to one player, whom I'm pretty sure was obscure even to the teams he played on.
To quote the great Vin Scully, "And now, something for the Roger Cedeno Marching and Chowder Society"...
Yup, it's a whole lotta Roger Cedeno cardboard - and that's how you cap off a stack.
We started this recap with a story about someone asking for a stack of money. We'll close out with John Lee Hooker doing the same...
A whole stack of THANKS to Night Owl for the supercool cards.
Aloha!
"urine yellow back" -- ah, the '80s.
