    Picked up one of my favorite Triple Threads cards of all time.

    Also picked up a cool auto from Mattingly Charities. Love the pic of Donnie Baseball being that happy.

    And one last one of last year's NL Rookie of the Year.

    I thought Mattingly looked like Phil Jackson on this card. Mattingly is a favorite of mine.

    1998 World Cup Of Baseball played in Italy! I wonder if there is more poses? Players? I hope someone here has some info. By the way this was the 33rd time this tournament was played. Pretty cool event that has been dominated by Cuba.

    Good call on the Phil Jackson comp. :smile:

    I don't get why the Bryce Harper card says "Clown question".

    I don't get why the Bryce Harper card says "Clown question".

    It is a quote from Bryce Harper in 2012:

    The 19-year-old Washington Nationals outfielder quipped, "That's a clown question, bro," to a Toronto TV reporter who asked if he planned to take advantage of Canada's lower drinking age after belting a long home run in a win over the Blue Jays.

    Harper is a Mormon, a religion that forbids alcohol. A Nationals PR staffer suggested the reporter try a different line of questioning, but Harper was ready.

    "I'm not answering that," Harper said. "That's a clown question, bro."

    THanks, Chicago1976 for the Bryce explanation. Seems weird to put that on a card though.
