Guinness Head of the Dog? Never heard of that beer, but I want some!

I don't see a team listed there. It seems to be a multi-team schedule.

Here's the translation:

"The biggest figures from the glory days of baseball, always preferred the famous Guinness Doghead beer, besides being exquisite and incomparable, it strengthens and reinvigorates!

Taste it yourself!"

It looks like a Winter League schedule for a Caribbean baseball team, but I can't tell which Latin country.

"The greatest figures from the glory days of baseball, always prefer the famous beer Guiness Dog's Head, because besides being exquisite and incomparable, it nourishes!, it fortifies!, and it envigorates!

You drink it also."

No mention of team. What does the seal in the corner of the pic say?

i sent an email to Bob Lemke and this is his response...

does anyone have more infor on this card?


"Thanks for sending the scans. I'm sorry to report that I have no information about the card. You are certainly correct that it is much scarcer than the usual playing card design, though what premium value may be attached is uncertain.

The combination of Cuban pro ball and beer advertising should increase demand, but again, I have no pricing reference for such an item.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Regards,
Bob Lemke"

"I've been brushing up on my Spanish of late, and I think he is saying something about, you know, his being Catholic, and it's a sin. " - Ogilvie (from The Bad News Bears) to Buttermaker on what Jose just said (he actually is saying that wearing a protective cup hurts)

It reads like something "The World's Most Interesting Man" would say.

"Stay thirsty my friends"

Those are probably my favorite commercials right now. XX!
These commercials would be awesome if it wasn't some decrepit old man in them. All the build up and bragging for a geezer.

The beginning of the one commercial where the dudes drill the ice fishing hole and he pops up out of it with 2 fish in his hand cracks me the hell up. Like he's been just hanging out underwater for a half hour waiting for them to finish drilling the hole. Good stuff! Love those commercials.
