He waited a long time to get his due, so let's show some love for Ted Simmons...

Here is a newly imagined card of HOF'er Tony La Russa (with the spelling of his surname mirroring the usage on his 'regular' 1972 Topps card*). To say finding an action shot of Tony on the Braves is tough, is like saying finding a picture of the New Jersey Devil and a Chupacabra enjoying a mojito together on the boardwalk is easy. One doesn't seem to exist, so I pulled out all the stops to create something that could possibly seem realistic...
1972tonylarussa01.jpg *I call this type of inconsistent spelling of a name by the card companies a Skewedonym in my 'The New Directory of Collectorisms' thread on the main page.

I ran across this picture today and the beautiful joy on The Say-Hey Kid's face (and tomorrow being his birthday) told me I had to turn it into yet another version of what woulda/coulda/shoulda been the most awesomest card ever...

After running across a pic that looked very much like his actual 1972 Topps In Action card, I decided to embark on a celebration of the one and only Johnny Bench...
