Nastalgia Trip: By Request

Some of you requested you're favorite players from your childhood be posted. Here's a few that I've found first. More to come.
Sammy Sosa in Chicago. No, the other Chicago.
Roger Clemens: The AL East. No, the other AL East. Also, notice how small his head looks...

Ozzie Smith enjoying himself. I'm guessing post back flip.

A little Otis Nixon action for ya.

Nolan Ryan.


Ken Griffey, Jr. Sorry about the sideways deal. It's late and I don't feel like re-scanning.

Cal Ripken, Jr.

Bo Knows: powder blue.


Bob Wickman: asshole!

Barry Bonds. His head sure looks a lot smaller too...

Curt Schilling pitching for the O's.

Nastalgia Trip: First in a Series

As some of you may know, I've recently happened upon my baseball card collection from the days of yore. I promised to upload some of them just for kicks, and I'll start with the Braves.

No tour de force of the early ‘90s Braves would be complete with manager Bobby Cox. Just look at this young star. A happier face there never was.

The Pride of my Braves collection: two Chipper Jones #1 draft pick cards. What a stud.
The immortal John Smoltz. Pre-beard.
Mad Dog: Pre Braves.
Tom Glavine: Pre-Mets.
Steve Avery: Pre-Obscurity.
Sid Bream. Braves win! Braves win! Braves win!
