Funniest player pics?

[MrMackie]

I just came across Chipper Jones' portrait. It looks like he dropped his ice cream cone and is about to cry for his mommy. :D

I haven't had time to go through all the player pics but there must be several other unflattering and funny mugs.

He's sprinting off the mound. He must've saw something really scary.

Odd, I can't find a game where Gibson allowed 6 runs in the 2nd from 61 through 69 (the time period where Washburn and Gibson played together)

[HoustonGM]

Maybe thats the Cardinals that scored 6..?

[SirKodiak]

Maybe thats the Cardinals that scored 6..?

I can't find a home game where he pitched less than 3 innings, didn't close, and allowed no runs...

[HoustonGM]

The pictures could've been from two different games...and the 6-0 scores after 2 innings are just coincidences...

[Jeff Olsen]

Odd, I can't find a game where Gibson allowed 6 runs in the 2nd from 61 through 69 (the time period where Washburn and Gibson played together)Could it be from spring training?

Hello mound!

This guy realized he wouldn't make it as a major league third baseman so went into football instead, and ended up in the Hall of Fame.

[Jeff Olsen]

Mitchell-san?

[robinhoodnik]

Hello mound!

Lol. I'll bet that was just the first sentence in that (likely) lengthy startegy session with the mound. Wonder what he said to the ball? Wonder how many others here know who he was/is. (Last I knew, he owned a landscaping company in the next town over from me)

[Jeff Olsen]

Uh, Bob? Your shirt's on backwards.

Maybe I'm missing it, but what's funny about this picture?

Maybe it's because he has a wedgie?

Ya i dont see it either.

[Jeff Olsen]

Funny can also mean "odd". ;)

I'm not seeing what's odd either, except that semi-wedgie, which most players probably have at a couple times during a game, heh.

[TacoBoy]

The woman with the white shirt has a nice rack....

[Jeff Olsen]

I'm not seeing what's odd eitherIt's a picture of a pitcher doing something that's usually reserved for guys who just hit a homer.

[Jeff Olsen]

He's gotta have trouble getting around on fastballs with that thing.

[HoustonGM]

Looks like an error.
LOL. That is actually one of the problems with the error statistic. There's a good amount of scorers that would call that a hit, because the fielder never got his glove on the ball.

[Jeff Olsen]

This can't be good.

[Jeff Olsen]

That Matsui must have a helluva grip!

[Jeff Olsen]

Hit? He certainly did!

[robinhoodnik]

Looks like an error.

Naw, that's just the best chance a Brewer has at a batted ball. Throw youself in front of it, and hope for the best. :D

[robinhoodnik]

He's gotta have trouble getting around on fastballs with that thing.

I dunno, double X used some rather large lumber. ;)

[Jeff Olsen]

What's wrong with this picture?

[Jeff Olsen]

Could this be the unnamed rightfielder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who%27s_On_First%3F)?

DiMaggio played LF, CF, and RF during his rookie year.

Hello.

[InRepair]

I remember there being an Upper-Deck card printed near the end of Bill Buckner's career (I think he was on the Royals, perhaps), and he was shown standing in the the normal infielder's stance, with his legs partially open and bowed, and whoever the jerk was who took the picture lined up the shot so that some sort of huge pipe or rolled up piece of tarp or *something* cylindrical and hollow was in the background--yet still predominantly in the shot--right between his legs. Get it? Har-har.

Poor guy. God, I shudder to think what his obituary is going to be.

[Jeff Olsen]

Candlestick Park?

This never would have happened to his brother. There was some talk at the time that the profanity didn't actually appear on the bat, but was added in at some stage before printing.

Was this from a barnstorming tour? It was common for teams on tour to pick up players from other teams to fill out the rosters. The bigger the star, the more cash for everyone too.

[Jeff Olsen]

Was this from a barnstorming tour?Could be an amalgamation of the championship teams of '23. Judging by the uniform, the photo is from '23 or maybe early '24 before the changeover. The guy in the middle is Jack Dunn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Dunn), owner & manager of the minor league Baltimore Orioles; Ruth and Bentley both played on his team at one time.

[robinhoodnik]

Could it be earlier?

From 1921


Sunday, October 16th
IN THE NEWS: In defiance of a Kenesaw Mountain Landis ban on World Series participants playing post-season exhibitions, Babe Ruth, Bob Meusel, and P Bill Piercy launch a barnstorming tour in Buffalo. Five days later, they cut it short in Scranton. In the meantime Ruth openly challenges Landis to act. The judge does, fining the players their World Series shares—$3,362.26—and suspending them until May 20th of the next season.

[Jeff Olsen]

Could it be earlier? Don't think so. That particular uniform was only used in '23.

[robinhoodnik]

Got it. :D That was driving me nuts!


New York Yankees outfielder Babe Ruth, in a Giants uniform, with Giants manager John McGraw at an exhibition game with the Baltimore Orioles on October 3, 1923, at the Polo Grounds. Ruth played in the Giants outfield for the game, which was a benefit.

Strange things happen in Red Sox clubhouse
LOL.

That fits perfectly with this quote from the Boston Globe that they posted on Firejoemorgan:


"So much for wearing these clothes home," Francona cracked, the beer-and-champagne mix dripping down his bald head, into his eyes, past his chin, and onto the red underclothes that he still wore.

But that was nothing compared to the double dose of champagne Theo Epstein took from Schilling and Papelbon, an explosion of the sticky liquid sending him shooting across the clubhouse floor, with Schilling whispering a warning to reporters standing close to watch out.
