I loved baseball cards as a kid, but I would often wonder what the hell were these guys thinking then they posed for some of their photos. In fact, some of the worst photos ever taken history were on baseball cards, as if they hired the rejects from Olan Mills to come in and work the mood…
MARK LEMKE! Is he sad? Hung Over? Maybe in a fight with the cameraman? nah…probably looking at bubbles.
Ah, It’s Bruce Hurst! His soft eyes, warm smile and $10 Truck Stop Red Sox cap…
Poor Mikey, looks like he got caught on the can at night posing for this one. Kinda got that lean forward to get that tough to reach spot lean going doesn’t he?
To get Jimmy Key to pose for this shot, they had Cito Gaston tell him his dad died. The hilarity that ensued when he found out it was just to get a shot for a baseball card was CLASSIC.
A lot of people forgot about Kim Jong Il’s failed career as an infielder for the Baltimore Orioles. This photographer didn’t.
Tough for Keith to hold still. Seconds later he grabbed a bat boy and ran.
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY Ricky….HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY.
“Benny, look back and up in amazment, as if you heard a loud noise and noticed a UFO was going to land on you, we’ll shoot it”
No word on whether he took the bat to dinner before posing for this photo.
The photographers could only laugh as they watched Leyland’s bald spot slowly blister in the see through skyscraper he put on his melon.

Ah the ‘86 Topps series. Classic! A close second to the wood-grained ‘87 series in my humble opinion.
