The infamous Cubs floating heads team picture.

The Giants all standing picture was apparently taken by a real giant.
the padres took a trip to the san diego zoo for one of their team photos (1980 topps?) too. one of my faves has always been the 1978 topps phillies' team card. it's like davinci's last supper or the cover of sgt. peppers.
ReplyDeleteCool post. Is that Cookie Rojas (1st in the second row from top) in the Cubs picture? He might have been a coach with them. Odd that he would be included this way.
