[Guest Edgy DC]

[DocTee]

Sammy Khalifa...the only Egyptian-born MLB player.

80s names that jump out at me: Mickey Klutts...and Rusty Kuntz.

That first broken image belongs to Candy Maldonado.

Future Met 1st Base Coach

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

When I think of good times in the eighties, I picture me some Randy Bush.

(Does Randy Johnson count, too? I'll go Randy Johnson.)

Does he win a prize for that?

[seawolf17]

But which Randy Johnson? There were so many.

I see Razor Shines, and I think of U.L. Washington...

[G-Fafif]

Jamie Quirk.

And where there's Jamie Quirk, there's got to be Onix Concepcion.

And you can't have Jamie Quirk and Onix Concepcion without Buddy Biancalana.

Seems the 1980s Royals were rich in this regard:

Terry Puhl

Dickie Thon

I bet you we could make a lot of money marketing a Dickie Thong.

[Met Hunter]

I thought watching R.A.'s pitching performances on tape for hours and hours would be considered a Dickey-thon.

And guessing Ralph's stats would put you in the Terry Puhl.

[Theoldmole]

I liked the Kansas City Hero -- a loaf of Brett, a hunk of Biancalana, and a slice of Balboni.

[Centerfield]

I think we should re-name this thread "cards I used to get instead of Mets".

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

And maybe my favorite-- even as a kid...

[Guest Edgy DC]

Glenallen Hill always sounded like a nice pastoral place to live.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

You don't want to end up in one of Paul Assenmacher's homemade movies.

[Guest Edgy DC]

And that leads me to...
