Unhappiest player on a card

Autos4Alex · July 25, 2010 12:11PM

So I was browsing through odd hall of famer rookie cards and I stumbled across the 1972 puerto rico Gossage rookie. I was amazed with how much it looked like he did not want to have his picture taken for the card. Like he just woke up and wants to be in the majors and not the puerto rican league. Plus his hair is classic. Here's one on ebay

So I'm curious, what cards to you have where the player looks like they want to be there less than this one?

I am sure someone will know for sure which year, I haven't collected Baseball cards for many years, but I remember a Roberto Clemente card from the 1960's in which he looked VERY sad and depressed.

That Goose card is scary
I always thought Donruss could've picked a better photo for this one. Looks like the photog caught Tony a split second before he made a beeline for the restroom.

Hah! That '33 Ott was the first that came to my mind, too. Here's another happy camper...

You ALWAYS knew where you stood with this guy!! Even the poor photographer....

He just seems to want to break someones legs.This guy would have been great in an old Cagney or Bogie movie or the God Father.

His scowl just looks like it's from the weight of his eyebrow... lol

As opposed to unhappiness, I think Pete Rose has a look of shock and disbelief. The fact that someone submitted that card for professional grading stunned the all time hit leader.

I always thought George looked a little grumpy on his rookie card:

I don't have his card and don't know that I have ever seen one of his cards but does anyone have a Conrad Dobler (spelling). The guy that played for St. Louis and was accused of biting people. He always looked mean.

Too bad no Topps photographer caught The Mad Hungarian during his pre-pitch psych routine.

Someone has GOT to post the Johnny Unitas crosseyed card here. I don't have one.
