Nothing to see here, just a 48 year old, then-active player on a baseball card...
1988 Score Phil Niekro
"It's like watching Mario Andretti park a car"
-Ralph Kiner, after watching Niekro's knuckleball.
"Trying to hit that thing is a miserable way to make a living"
-Pete Rose
"Niekro struck out a hitter once and I never touched the ball. It hit me in the shinguard, bounced out to Clete Boyer at third base and he threw the runner out at first. Talk about a weird assist; 2-5-3 on a strikeout."
-Bob Uecker, one of his many catchers.
Love those quotes about Niekro!
ReplyDeleteHahaha on those quotes. No offense to Phil but he looks 68 on that card, not 48.
