All filler, all day! Here's a Kansas City A from 1956.
Do people from Kansas actually collect Kansas City A cards? Are there any old timers who refuse to root for the Royals and instead follow their beloved A's? Is Joe looking up at a pop fly or a falling bomb in his actoin picture? Why did this man have to play his entire career before Houston had a franchise? Did the Astros ever hire him as a coach? If not, why not? SO MANY QUESTIONS
The 1956 set is basically one long avant-garde surrealist comic book. Joe steals a bus, plows through the front gate right onto the field and runs down the opposing team leaving naught but carnage in his wake. Joe talks down a wigged out pitcher who stupidly got wasted on salvia thinking it was a fancy brand of chewing tobacco. Joe the con man talks his way into the Iowa Caucuses and ends up with 32% of the vote for Republican candidate for the 1956 Presidential race, later absconding with 5 million dollars in campaign donations and fleeing to Fiji, where he would live out his life in luxurious opulence, surrounded by mostly naked island girls. Joe lived a wild and crazy life apparently! Good for you, Joe!
I have no idea how to create pages but I'll figure it out eventually godammit
If anyone has an Applejack from the recent McDonald's promotion you'd be willing to trade, you will be well rewarded.
