Summer Of Fuck Face

I was 13 years old ,sitting In my room ,sorting cards, when I got  the phone call ."I GOT THE FUCK FACE!I GOT THE FUCK FACE!" my cousin exclaimed giddily.I'm sure my mom and everybody else in my house ,hell my block, heard the shouting coming out of the receiving end of my telephone. But only I knew what  my cousin really meant.I knew he wasn't being self critical.He had just pulled the infamous 1989 Fleer Billy Ripken "Fuck Face" error card. Apparently,someone In the clubhouse thought It'd be pretty funny to inscribe the   expletive on the nub of Billy Ripken's baseball bat.I'm not sure If the culprit knew that Ripken would be taking a baseball card pic with the bat or not,but the damage was done.The card made It's way into the hands of a lucky few ,and demand for it  was almost unprecedented. 

So my question to you - 

Where were you when "Fuck Face" happened?Did you or anybody you know pull the card?How did you pull It-single packs,box bust etc.  ?

The Bruce Is Loose!

I'm happy to see Bruce come back to the  Mets .I felt like his departure to the Indians came right when he was beginning to mesh with N.Y. , the fans and teammates. He's a gamer and a nice spark in the middle of a lineup that shouldn't have a problem scoring runs this year. Bruce Is also an asset to guys like Conforto and Dom Smith.Can't wait for February .And when February finally comes ,I'll be longing for April.
