Bring Frickin' Joy Now!!!!!
There's been an ever-growing pestilent plague of nastiness going on in all sorts of Net54 threads lately, so it's time to fight back!!!!!
Grab and post pics of cards that show the players loving life and being incredibly joyful for being able to play the game they love so much!! Cards that define "HAPPINESS" and immediately make you grin from ear to ear!! Heck, if you prefer, just post cards that make YOU YOURSELF extremely joyful...and do it now to help turn the nasty tide around... joyfulcards.jpg

The first cards that come to mind for this thread are the '53 Bowman Color Stan Musial and the '56 Topps Mickey Mantle, but I don't own either of those.
Seems like the further you go back in card issue, the tougher it is to find someone smiling. For example, how many T206's show the player smiling, even among the portraits? Not many. Pre-war and post-war Last edited by CW; 05-20-2024 at 06:55 PM. |

I know its not baseball but............we adopted this sweet thing today. My son saw her on a rescue site and fell in love with her. We thought she was in the Philadelphia area as the site referenced. However, we were asked if we could wait for about a month because she was in South Korea! It is an International Rescue. Long story short, she arrived at JFK around noon today and they dropped her off at my house around 3:30.
We introduced our other three dogs one at a time and they all get along very nicely! In just a few hours we saw a change in her that was skiddish from us at first to sitting in our laps. I think we brought as much joy to her as she has to us. Bob IMG_0058.JPG Erin.JPG |

A few Charlie Hollocher cards got posted on another thread and I made a comment about how good he might have been without the burden of mental illness. He made it until his mid-40s before he decided he couldn't take it anymore.
Here's a card documenting what seems to be one of his better days, hopefully during an extended period of better days. |

Lots of smiling faces in Wilson Franks. Maybe they got free hot dogs for being part of the set.

I'd smile too for my 1925 cards if I had driven in the winning run in the 12th inning of the 7th game of the most recent World Series to make WaJo the winning pitcher!

I was going to post the '77 Fidrych, but I see someone beat me to it. Instead I'll share a photo that always makes me smile.

Oh, those aren't quite right... Well, the kid is happy but the players aren't. Strike two. Ah, that's better. It's a little surprising how few cards I have scanned have players that look happy. Maybe calm and satisfied, but not happy. |

You'd smile too, like Gus Zernial, who, legend has it, introduced Joe DiMaggio to Marilyn Monroe.
