Ray 'Flippin' Lankford

There is an evolution that has happened throughout my baseball card collecting life, and a rather amusing one at that. I have found that as I look through my cards and take note of the positions they are photographed in and couple them with other cards and make conversations between them. Maybe I didn't have friends as a kid... SO WHAT?!? Don't judge me! Here we go.

A baseball field is the home of these professional athletes for 162 nights of the spring, summer, and fall. Sometimes these overpaid gunslingers get a bit rambunctious. Manager Pete tries his best to thwart the disrespectful efforts of these 'ungrateful kids' before they act out. However there isnt much he can do about one wild card. Yes, that wild card is Ray Flippin Lankford. It doesn't help that Ray will do ANYTHING he is dared to by his teammates. Just the others day...
