This is what I imagine a '90s cell phone conversation sounded like.
Can you tell I'm running out of post ideas?
Thank you for this post. This was an awesome read featuring some of my favorite cards. Cell phone cameos are by far and away my favorites in my What The? mini collection.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen that Roberto Alomar card.
ReplyDeleteNow I've gotta have it...
Awesome - one of my favorite phone cards is Kent Hrbek on the dugout phone. I assume he's ordering a pizza.
ReplyDeleteI loved it.
ReplyDeleteI never realized that so many cards of baseball players holding telephones existed.Come to think about It,why do pitching coaches still use old school phones to call the bullpens?It's time to make the push for I Phones In the dugout ;) Calling the bullpen?There's an app for that.
