Billy Ripken finally confesses

Cal's little brother, aka "Fuck Face" tells how that obscenity got on his bat and then on his baseball card:

I love how he's still throwing the Fleer guys under the bus. They "enhanced the writing"? Really? Not buying it.

 

I'm surprised he knew which end of the bat to hold.

 

What a fuck face.

 

How did it take seven hours for someone to crush the obvious curveball out of the park?

Well-done.

 

I worked at a baseball card store when that whole fiasco occurred.

I can't overstate how hot the card was at the time. The single cards, as well as the packs and boxes, were just flying off the shelves, and at a great premium as well.

I also remember that was the first time I was ever quoted in the newspaper -- local rag doing the local angle on it. I ran out and bought about 10 copies afterward.

Too bad it didn't happen today. I could have just printed it off the internet and saved the money :-\
