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

Is that thing in the middle our center fielder of the future?

He's extremely quick and good.

Ack

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