contemplated - way back when - posting an image (okay, a google search image) of a literal "sh!t eating grin" via typed search, but...as I understand - and rightfully so - there's repercussions, so I refrained from doing so, again - way back when - (in any case, words to the wise: *think* before posting O/T or offensive/off-color stuff)

there's a time and a place for such doings, and it's NOT here on Net54...just a reminder to *think* (myself included) before you post content, as it may p!ss off one - if not many, and NOT worth the questionable/feeble attempt at humor.

unlike some of the others, this is a truly a *great* board, with minimal restrictions...nothing I can personally (scan-wise) contribute to this particular thread but loving all of the above posts - keep 'em positive/on-topic, and coming...happy collecting!

DS

Look closely...both the left AND right sides of this card exhibit rather large gaping smiles.

"Oyster Joe" Martina pitched for 21 years in the minors and 1 year in the majors, for the 1924 world champion Washington Senators. He had a 6 - 8 won-loss record in 1924 and pitched 1 scoreless inning in the World Series. Please ignore the McGrew card, as I don't currently have a separate scan of Martina.

Another one...judging by the crinkle of his eyelinered and mascaraed eyes I would surmise that Ewing is smiling underneath his Walrus.

You wouldn't think that being surrounded by a teaming mass of boys would bring out the grin from within Landis...I would have expected another outbreak of extreme Frowny Face. Just shows you can't judge a Judge by his commissioner cover.

I believe he is 'eee-yahing', a physical feat that evidently only Hughie ever perfected.
