Background Noise - 1987 Topps Ed Olwine


I am up against a deadline at work tomorrow, so I am going to take a different approach this week with this classy 1987 Topps card of Ed Olwine.  Instead of me dissecting this card for your entertainment, I am going to open up the commentary to you, the reader.  Just at a glance, there is a veritable cornucopia of noise going on in that peanut gallery behind Mr. Ed, so I am eagerly anticipating when I have the time to read your comments.

Please use the comment box to share your Background Noise observations!

Have fun, and bonus points to whoever can figure out the stadium!

What's So Funny?

Uni-Watch has the inside scoop on the new MLB batting practice hats (read: money grab).  Some of them are pretty cool like the Rays' Sunburst, throwback Brewers, and the A's Elephant.  But then there is this...


The return of the "screaming savage."  I can't say I ever thought he was screaming or a savage.  He always appeared to be laughing to me.  Perhaps he was watching early 80s Brave baseball [skip caray voice] on TBS [/skip caray voice].

Given my affinity for Native American culture, I'd much prefer to see the proposed logo replaced with the Braves feather logo they wore on the shoulders back in the 70s. 

What do you think?
