Never has a player’s appearance on a baseball card so literally represented the team for which they played. Two interesting facts from Wikipedia:

1) Mr. Romo served as the set-up man for Kent Tekulve on the 1979 World Champion Pirates.
2) In 1983, Mr. Romo failed to report to spring training. The Pirates attempted to locate him, but failed, and he was released. His whereabouts remained unknown until a few years ago, when he appeared publicly with his brother in Mexico (at his induction into the Mexican Baseball Hall of Fame).

    Looks kinda like Johnny Damon.

    We should add an “ogre” tag

  3. Matt the Brave says:

    Damon nothing, he looks like Bluto! (Get it, Pirate, Popoye’s nemesis? :P )

  4. No “distorted faces” tag? The man is grimacing!

    Also, 1982 Fleer were terrible looking cards.
