Great game faces... Not about squirrels, Swift or resubmits

Thought I'd modestly propose a thread of the kind I particularly enjoy... Some of my favorite cards are those in which the player pictured looks like he's just absolutely ready to rumble. Here's a great game face from my collection, and I'd love to see others. So, please chime in if you have a favorite along those lines...

The back of Jim's card describes him as a "demon pass rusher".

I think KJ had this expression when he found out he be traded!

Still a good wide man. I didn't notice how badly this card was chipped till I scanned it. Pack fresh too!

Oh no you didn't. I don't think Jeff Gordon could intimidate anyone. He has to wear his HANS device to start a fight. Mean look but no substance behind it.

September 8, 1990.
Nolan Ryan took a line drive in the face from Bo Jackson in the 2nd inning. Ryan made the play at 1st to get Jackson out, and stayed in the game.
Ryan didn't get the decision, but his line for the game was...
ip 7
hits 3
runs 1
walks 3
so 8

Ryan was one tough dude, gets his bell rung in the 2nd inning, and pitches into the 8th, picking up another 6 strike outs along the way.
