Didn't Abe Lincoln wear that hat prior to the Gettysburg Address?

Is it a bug zapper? If so, where's the cord?

Or is it one of those citronella things?

I'm glad that Leyland card has "MGR" on it so you don't mistake him for a rookie pitcher or something.

@TheLou-Do: ...our fathers brought forth on this diamond a world championship, conceived in victory, and dedicated to the proposition that a leadoff walk and a leadoff single are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great pennant race, testing whether that division, or any division so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure into September.

They tried to get Gary Sheffield to wear a chef's hat for his rookie card. He didn't comply, seeing as he's not a Hispanic player who can be easily manipulated into that stuff.
