I don't know how I missed this story in December. But, here it is, the story of the 1989 Fleer Billy Ripken Fuck Face Card 20 years later. Apparently Billy wrote "fuck face" on the bat so that he would know it was his batting practice bat (from a shipment of bats that he did not like enough to use in a game). Thank god for things like this.
I was really into this card a few years ago, and even downloaded the CD of the indie band from Hampshire College "The Billy Ripken Fuckface Card". That CD is no longer on Itunes and all evidence of that band seems to have vanished from the internet. Either way, I am surprised that I didn't read this until now. Better late than never I guess.
