#77T Oswald Peraza



Wow, look how far bent Peraza's wrist is! I mean the one on his glove hand, of course.

Peraza is one of the few guys in this set I've never heard of. He had only 19 games in the big leagues, all in 1988.

Instead of selecting just one odd word, let me point out two odd phrases on the back: "loads of stuff" and "enough said." Enough said.

#70T Brady Anderson



The copy on the back of the card nicely sums up the trade that sent Anderson to the Orioles, one of a few prospects the Red Sox traded during this period that went on to have notably major league careers (the others being Curt Schilling, actually traded with Anderson in this deal, and Jeff Bagwell, traded away for another Andersen--this one with an 'e' and a first name of Larry.)

Most interesting word on the back? "Steroids."

Ha! Just kidding! Made you look!

Most unusual word? I guess "seasoning," although that's not such a rare word.

#41T Joe Orsulak



More background fun on this card. In the background, there's a guy on the left who I'm pretty sure is masturbating. The guy directly behind Orsulak doesn't appear to be wearing shorts at all. I had no idea that Joe was so stimulating.

On the back of the card, everything seems normal until you notice that baseball in the upper left. I can't tell if that's an actual baseball, or a picture of a baseball that's part of the ad in the background. Does anybody know?

Here's another team that actually looks halfway decent with the bright orange borders.

Check out that photo on the back. "What the fuck are you lookin' at?"

That's two catchers in a row.
