Cerone Alone

Rick Cerone, 1989 Topps

PUTTING PINE TAR ON MY BAT SO MY HANDS WILL STICK TO IT.

LA DI DA DI DA ... THERE'S TWO HITS IN THIS BAT I CAN FEEL IT.

WHY YOU LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT?

WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM BRO I'LL BE FINISHED WITH THE PINE TAR TOWEL IN A MINUTE DAMN.

PEOPLE BE LOOKING AT ME WEIRD ALL THE TIME HERE.

WHAT YOU'VE NEVER SEEN A HANDSOME VETERAN BACKSTOP BEFORE?

TAKE A PICTURE IT'LL LAST LONGER ACTUALLY DON'T OR I'LL BREAK YOUR CAMERA SONNY CORLEONE-STYLE.

THAT'S A COINCIDENTAL REFERENCE NOT A STEREOTYPE, OKAY?

JUST TRYING TO BE A LEADER MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS JERK.

FEELS LIKE THERE ARE ENEMIES ALL AROUND ME.

CLOWNS TO THE LEFT OF ME JOKERS TO THE RIGHT LIKE FROM THAT STEVIE WONDER SONG.

NEVER SHOULDA LEFT NEW YORK.

YO YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY TOUGH GUY?

DOES THIS LOOK LIKE THE FACE OF A GUY WHO TAKES ANY GRUFF?

I'LL BE FINISHED WHEN I'M FINISHED - THERE'S MORE PINE TAR TOWELS IN THE CLUBHOUSE DAMN.

HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT GUYS WERE TRYING TO GET ME.

KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE AND YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER.

JESUS SAID THAT, PRETTY SURE.

WISE MAN.

I'M NOT EVEN SURE WHO MY FRIENDS ARE ANYMORE YOU KNOW?

NEVER SHOULDA LEFT NEW YORK.

WHAT WAS THAT?

DID YOU HEAR THAT?

SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE WAS CALLING MY NAME, TRYING TO LURE ME INTO A CAVE OR SOMETHIN'.

AIN'T GONNA FALL FOR IT WHOEVER YOU ARE!

CAN'T SCARE ME, THESE PUNKS.

I SWEAR IT'S LIKE THEY CAN SMELL THE YANKEE ON ME.

I DON'T EVEN TRUST MY OWN TEAMMATES.

IS SOMEONE BEHIND ME?

Don't stop, belieeeevin' ... hold on to that feeeeeeeling
