Crap

I think I screwed it up somehow. Anyway, this is the cover of a Brewers scorecard from 1947, when the Brewers were a minor league baseball team in Milwaukee. The Barrel Man’s name is Owgust, apparently.

Neat, isn't it?

I found a few others from the 70s, but they’re not nearly as cool looking. I’ll probably FanShoot then, but not on the front page.

Awesome

He's extremely quick and good.

I can’t see the image in Firefox, only that Angelfire hosts it.
