Sammy Khalifa...the only Egyptian-born MLB player. 80s names that jump out at me: Mickey Klutts...and Rusty Kuntz.

That first broken image belongs to Candy Maldonado.

Orestes Destrade. Shooty Babbit. Stubby Clapp.

Future Met 1st Base Coach

When I think of good times in the eighties, I picture me some Randy Bush. (Does Randy Johnson count, too? I'll go Randy Johnson.)

But which Randy Johnson? There were so many.

Jamie Quirk. And where there's Jamie Quirk, there's got to be Onix Concepcion. And you can't have Jamie Quirk and Onix Concepcion without Buddy Biancalana.

Terry Puhl Dickie Thon

Edgy DC Jul 12 2010 06:40 AM Re: Evocative Names in Your Card Collection: 80s Edition

I bet you we could make a lot of money marketing a Dickie Thong.

Met Hunter Jul 12 2010 03:18 PM Re: Evocative Names in Your Card Collection: 80s Edition

I thought watching R.A.'s pitching performances on tape for hours and hours would be considered a Dickey-thon. And guessing Ralph's stats would put you in the Terry Puhl.

TheOldMole Jul 12 2010 08:16 PM Re: Evocative Names in Your Card Collection: 80s Edition

I liked the Kansas City Hero -- a loaf of Brett, a hunk of Biancalana, and a slice of Balboni.

Centerfield Jul 14 2010 08:08 AM Re: Evocative Names in Your Card Collection: 80s Edition

I think we should re-name this thread "cards I used to get instead of Mets".

Glenallen Hill always sounded like a nice pastoral place to live.

You don't want to end up in one of Paul Assenmacher's homemade movies.

And that leads me to... His capacity for holding houses was matched only by the hold in his hair.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 14 2010 11:38 AM Re: Evocative Names in Your Card Collection: 80s Edition

That's serious body... the kind of hold you might expect from, say, a Steve Jeltz. But the guy he really should've gotten in touch with... is this guy.

Seems the 1980s Royals were rich in this regard: Not to veer wildly off topic, but where was this photo of Buddy taken? That's a road uniform, and a rather small grandstand. Somewhere in Florida during Spring Training?

Edgy DC Jul 14 2010 11:55 AM Re: Evocative Names in Your Card Collection: 80s Edition

It's no ordinary breeze that blows across the Morelands, but rather a... And joining Assenmacher and his brethren (Orel Hershiser, Jason Schmidt, Jim Gott) in the all-Teutonic pitching rotation...

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 14 2010 12:39 PM Re: Evocative Names in Your Card Collection: 80s Edition

I think at least part of the reason this guy bounced around so much is because he wouldn't shut up about how overrated he found Metamorphases.

Centerfield Jul 14 2010 01:17 PM Re: Evocative Names in Your Card Collection: 80s Edition

Anachronism Portion I always thought Tony Phillips looked like he was caught by surprise when this picture was taken. Not nearly as surprised as I was when he found his way to the 1998 Mets. Julio Franco belongs in a shoebox tucked away in the back of my childhood closet, not part of my current life. Was this guy really a teammate of Mike Pelfrey's? How is that even possible?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 14 2010 02:09 PM Re: Evocative Names in Your Card Collection: 80s Edition

Not to mention the overeager, "America-- Fuck Yeah" look on that punim.
