Quotes on the back of cards

This one seemed particularly mean:
(Norris Hopper - 2007 Topps #571) Norris played his first MLB game in 2006 - then got played himself. After he hit his first homer on 9/22, the game was rained out with the Reds leading in the bottom of the fifth. His teammates played a gag and convinced him his bomb wouldn't count. "He was about crying that it wasn't a legal game, and I told him there's no crying in baseball," laughed Juan Castro.

Anybody got a funny/stupid/favorite to share?

    One cartoon on the back of a 50's Topps card showed a guy at the plate talking to the catcher after a fastball came in saying--" If i could see the ball, I'd hit it!!"

    My favorite was out of a local newspaper years ago. A catcher behind home plate had 3 batters laying on the ground around home plate. The catcher yelled out to the pitcher " Way to go Charlie!! 3 up, 3 down!!".

    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    I cannot post a pic but after reading this thread I went over a few of my cards and on one of my '55 Topps it has a question/answer cartoon in the corner, question: "Do you want a pitcher calling you his cousin?"
    answer: "no it meens your a cinch to get out" old school terms ya gotta love it.

    In the 1955 Bowman baseball set card #4 of Eddie Waitkus says on the back..

    "In 1950 I was shot by a deranged girl"...

    I would scan a copy of this card if I COULD FIND IT! If you are fortunate enough to have this card check it out. Hilarious! I'm glad that he overcame being shot by some chick though.
