It just seems like the perfect time to show off a few random Jays that were sitting in my COMC to-be-posted box.
Sidearm pitchers like Eichhorn just seem to be made to be included in a Sportflics release.I'm including the reverse of the card, mainly because there can't be too many write-ups on cards that emphasize how slow a pitcher's pitches are. Plus I can imagine since the quote was from Earl Weaver that several variations of 'fuck' were removed from the sentence.I'll always love odd ideas for inserts, and an action figure theme, complete with a die-cut portion specifically for the hanger. It is something that almost implies that if you submitted this for grading, you'd get just a picture of a middle finger in return. I'm tempted to try, but am just too cheap.
Ken Huckaby is best known for being the guy Derek Jeter slid head first into and separated his shoulder as a result. But I guess that's better than being known for something that negatively impacted their team at the time.I had a few choices if I wanted a salute to Lance Parrish's career swan song with the Blue Jays in 1995. A play at the plate during an obvious Spring Training game was the best one. I'll end with the only hit of the bunch, also meaning I ended with three straight catchers. Charlie O'Brien's time in Toronto was more notable for his debut of the goalie-style catcher's mask than in-game action, but he was still a pioneer in one portion of the game. That's enough for me!
There you have it!
