Wally Pipp

[MrMet]

Was just watching the halftime highlights for football and they showed Kirk Cousins throwing a touchdown and referenced RGIII and said "Wally Pipp, anyone?"

And it occurred to me... Would most people even get that reference anymore?

I think Fleer once made a Gehrig/Pipp dual cut.

Younger people might not get it, but I sure do.

See: Green, Trent.

Probably only if they were baseball fans who are versed a little bit in baseball history.

some couch potato who only watches NFL and college football and doesn't give a lick about baseball likely won't get the Pipp reference.
