Bowling For Baseball Cards
What’s the most random thing you could do at a bowlerama?
Purchase a Robert Reichel hockey card for 25 cents from a vending machine, that’s what.
In that moment of panic that accompanied the announcement of the bar being closed, we had to amuse ourselves. Among trying to find “chews” for quarters, we purchased 1991 Fleer Basketball and Baseball Card packs. Dan and Jon were able to uncover some gems last night including a Kevin Brown, a Marquis Grissom, and a picture of Frank Viola holding an apple:

But the cream of the crop was the Tom Chambers Fleer 1991 card. Not because it’s valuable, or anything. Simply because Tom Chambers looks like Don Johnson on crack.

Tom Chambers once dunked over 4 Boston Celtic players… on a reverse. He was simply hardcore. The crew down at the Fanhouse NBA Blog have even offered the hypothesis that Tom Chambers is the best white dunker of all time. Have a look for yourself as he flies over Marc Jackson:

Oh, and a reminder: Don’t forget that our weekly “Stump The Loat” will occur tomorrow (Wednesday) at 11 am. It’s your chance to prove that you have some skill.

It must be mentioned that Tom Chambers has one of the greatest sports mullet of all time!

I’ll trade you my Robert Reichel for that apple.
The apple is more likely to score in a shootout. If you consider adding Sergei Berezin to the mix, we’ll talk.
