April Fools

 

Not every card I make is with serious intent...

Bruce Campbell the actor actually does hail from Michigan, so it seemed too perfect that the Bruce Campbell baseball player features a stop in Detroit. Evil Dead one-liners are a requirement whenever Ash steps up to the plate. "Groovy" is a must for any home runs.

This is a real card produced by the Bot. How you come out of the bullpen already tired is beyond me. Couldn't it give him a 0 for control in exchange for even 1 inning to pitch? If that isn't bad enough, the dude gives up homers on his own chart. Only pitch Mr Wang as a joke.

Larry Walker is a Hall of Fame caliber, great defensive and dangerous power hitter. But the 1997 All Star Game was a thing where he was so scared of Randy Johnson that he tried hitting from the right side and struck out comically.

It's all fun and games until the freakin fire truck comes in and tosses a no-hitter...twice. 1952 Virgil Trucks went 5-19 and was so set to not lose 20 games, he refused to pitch pretty much for the rest of the season. 2 of those 5 wins were no hitters, which just shows how bad the Tigers were when you needed to be near perfect just to win a game.

Wait a minute...that's not Al...

There we go. That intentional mess-up was in homage to the famous Al Leiter Topps card mishap.

Here's another joke of a reliever. Knudson at least doesn't bring 0IP to the table. But 18+ for homers? I know the expansion Rockies weren't exactly good, but c'mon! Only 1 for strikeouts?

Hensley "Bam-Bam" Meulens was a failed prospect for the Yankees. He was not that good in 1992, but the Bot was feeling cute when you make a card for him under the 2000-set algorithm. This guy makes the beast that was 98-Shane Spencer pale in comparison.
