Baseball players you are glad weren't very good and pursued other careers.

My vote would have to go to this guy.



Had he been a great baseball player, the world would have never witnessed him in all of his magnificent glory.

great call

I think Randy counts, good one Sam. Michael had already dominated basketball before baseball so it's not like we wouldn't have seen him hoop it up if he could have played ball.

Not that he does anything for me, but some people might say Danny Ainge?

But then again if he was a good baseball player who could hang in the big leagues, we would have probably never seen the second 3-Peat.

I believe this is a Bob Lemke original of the Slim Jim spokesman!! He does incredible work with "cards that never were". Look him up.

He will always be Snake Plissken to me.

Nope, that's not one of mine. Though I do have a couple of same/similar black-and-white photos that I intend to use to create a minor league card someday.

Woah, I thought that was a real Topps card at first. It blew my mind that I didn't realize Macho Man had a card, then I saw the card number. (the '74 set has 660 cards)
I like the "dropping the shoulder" reference on the back.

Macho man, one of the best AND my favorite wrestler ever.

Lindros? What other sport did he play?

I know he had a 1990 Score Traded baseball card, but that was just a PR batting practice appearance at a Jays game.The card was just a gimmick to cash in on his popularity as a hot shot hockey rookie who thought he could play wherever he wanted rather than with the team that drafted him. (No, I've never been a fan.)

There are many past, present and future major leaguers very happy this guy failed at baseball.

He has a minor league card, but I was too lazy to find it.
