Randy Niemann, 5-Star Pirate

Did you know? Randy is a 5-star Pirate: The 1st star is for his hit "Short People" during the '77 campaign ... 2nd star is for his macaroni-and-cheese sandwiches ... 3rd star is for his team-record 34 consecutive rides on Space Mountain before a game at Dodger Stadium - 5/26/82 ... 4th star is for knot tying ... and he won the 5th star in a card game!

No star earned for those awesome yellow wristbands? What about his ability to eerily alternate between Happy Randy and Sad Randy?

I have to say that this could be the greatest card ever made. The smiling Randy in the main photo contrasts so brilliantly with serios Randy in the inset photo. I wonder if the photographer was shouting at him (in German) `Show me ANGER! YES! Now you are happy, a happy little ballplayer. Thats it. NOW ANGER AGAIN! YES! Now you are serious, a serious ballplayer. NO! Too serious. Just a little serious...
