Had a choice of Reggie or the last Willie Mays Topps card. Chose Reggie as he was in a little better shape.
"You best not be talkin' bout the pine tar...."
Assuming that photo was taken in 1985, that is two years after the Pine Tar incident. Not sure if that rule still was in effect in 1985.
I actually had the game on WPIX when that incident happened. I was not watching the game but had the telecast on as background noise. And what background noise it turned out to be!!!
He was probably called for a strike in this photo, but the look kills. And with his bat in the photo I just think of The Pine Tar Incident.
To be listening to it when it happened I bet it was something that made you stop what you were doing and listen.... there was a lot of hubbub before he charged the ump... I can only imagine yours (and the announcer's) reaction when he bolted out of the dugout.
Yeah when I heard all the commotion, I stopped what I was doing and paid attention. I thought for sure it was a bench clearing brawl (which was not incommon back then) but it was a much more memorable event than one of those.
Much like the famous double overtime Dolphins/Chiefs playoff game on Christmas Day, 1971, this game was one of those I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when it happened.
And since I am 99% sure this game was on Channel 11 WPIX out of New York City, I would bet anything that there were ads for The **** during commercial breaks. Funny how both you and one of my bothers on the same exact day learned The **** was a real peraon (or persona) and not a fictitional person from Seinfeld. At least you have an excuse for not knowing that whereas he did not.

Don't really collect minor league cards but he is a Chickasaw!
Do you have any idea why Bo's cards have skyrocketed in value in the last year or so? From a dollar or two to $20 and $30 in a lot of cases and I have no idea why. The biggest shock was the 1990 Score baseball football/baseball card. You could not sell a complete 1990 Score baseball set for $5 last year and now that card alone is at least $20. The 1987 Topps Baseball is now at $25 and that was only a dollar or two not that long ago.
Very strange. Much like popular music, I'm certain herd mentality is at play. But what caused the herd to stampde like that?
Inquiring mind wants to know. Ya' know?
Nostalgia, kids from the 80's and 90's are older and have some disposable income. Bo was big in their youth. cards from the 70's already had a renaissance and now its the 80's turn I guess.
Makes sense, That probably explains the recent upswing in demand and value of Griffey Jr. cards as well. I'm wondering if the significant price increase Fernando Valenzuels's RCs was due to that nostalgia factor too.
Thanks for the insight on that.
Daaaaa..... Bears!
