Not so sure that would be allowed on here. But then again ....... who would really complain :D

My avatar is Al Schacht, The Clown Prince of Baseball, in his trademark battered top hat with a crazed look on his face as captured by photographer George Burke. Graig Kreindler was kind enough to render him in color for me a few years ago, which transformation I captured in an animated gif, but unfortunately the file size is too big for my avatar. It does show work on my About Me page though.

My moniker is a jazz-era phrase for something that is the best of its kind, of high quality and the height of fashion. You know, cool. Which I'm obviously not, as proven by my choice of obscure and outdated phraseology.

Tripredacus is a faction from the late 90s "cartoon" Beast Wars: Transformers. The avatar is Ravage, taken from a 2000s comic book cover for Transformers by Dreamwave. Related in name only.

I am big into Transformers, and that is the handle/avatar combination I try to use everywhere.

I thought it was "trepidatious" :)

My avatar is one of my fave poses on any pre-war card, of course.

My moniker is a combination of my three kids names and my ebay user name.

My avatar is a Veeck jersey and his wooden leg. I've owned an example of the Veeck jersey and sold it years ago. The leg was sold in 1999 and is now being used as a trophy for a fantasy baseball league. :eek:

I think a man workin' outdoors feels more like a man if he can have a bottle of suds.

I hear this a lot. Correct pronunciation is phonetic, but even then people have trouble. I just say "call me Trip" which works well enough. Oh and in case you have wondered, people have referred to me by my online username in real life many time, even going back 10+ years ago. ;)

Big fan of the Phillies, and one of the earliest Team Cards / Photos that is out there!

This 1911 Baseball Bats is one of my favorite WaJo cards because of the vivid colors surrounding his image.

My avatar is a Bill & Bob postcard of Hank Aaron. I just really like the image.
