Billy Martin...crude but amazing!

This is the second Billy Martin card to call my collection home. The first is his 1960 Topps Reds card that is nestled among my other 1960 Reds in my team binder and this 1972 Topps card has now taken up residency in my Album of Amazing. Billy was one of those ballplayers that had no problem letting profanities fly freely from his mouth and, according to this card, had no problem flipping the bird as well - although in a much subtler manner. This card does go nicely with the 1989 Fleer Billy Ripken that I also have.

One of the best cards ever!

Now you need the 1994 Stadium Club Frank Thomas to go with it.

Thanks Fuji. I'll definitely add that to the list!
