Brady Anderson, shown here in his skinny days. Ok, so maybe that's a bit of a cheap shot, but his is a name that comes up as exhibit A for a lot of conspiracy theorists, be they adherents to the juiced ball, or juiced players theories. But aside from that one monster year (we'll get to that), his stats were pretty consisten, which would argue against any personal enhancement use on his part, I'd think. So no character defamation here. It's not really my style anyway.

What I do want to focus on is that Oriole logo. Fantastic. I love it. It's the kind of stupid sports logo that speaks to a simpler time. Not everything needed to be edgy, instead you had a local sports team made up of grown men playing a kid's game for a living, and the logo conveyed that sense of fun. Or else I'm on nostalgic crack. Either way.

Frankly this is a boring card. I knew there'd be at least a few of these, despite my weeding out efforts, but I'm not in much of a rambling mood to make up for it today. I guess I wasn't kidding with that skinny comment, though: 6'1" - 170?! That's pretty trim. He must have bulked up eventually to have his one 50-homer season, but that was in keeping with the 90s in general. Also in keeping with the 90s, he was one of the more famous to grow those 90210 sideburns. Here's Exhibit A for both of those things, really. And heck, that 96 season was overshadowed by the 11-year-old NYC brat anyway, so why quibble about homeruns?

Yeah I got nothin'. Let's move on.
