“ I designed this set and took the photo. ” -vrooomed
“ Was this known as the "wide load" set? ” -ShoTime
“ Fun fact: the bat boy in the picture next to Ibanez's hip is actually Mike Trout. ” -ketchupman36
“ In what was supposed to be a great promotion at the All-Star game, they strung up an All-Star game piñata and Raul was supposed to smash it so the kids waiting in the background could have some candy. In an embarrassing moment that will forever be remembered in Phillies lore, he swung and missed. ” -muskie027
“ Ibanez likes to eat chicken pot pie. ” -carthage44
“ While with the Yankees in 2012, Raul was the first major leaguer to play all nine defensive positions and DH in one inning. It was July 1, 2012 against the White Sox in the bottom of the ninth at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees won 4-2 scoring all their runs in the 2nd and 3rd inning on a pair of 2-run home runs by Ibanez. What a game! ” -jayoneill
“ One the one hand, it's cool to have every player who made the ASG get their own All-Star card -- it's a bonus for team collectors epsecially. On the other hand, it's overkill and kind of cheapens the idea of the "All-Star" cards we grew up with. Then again, the ASG itself has become a watered-down attraction. So, perhaps it's fitting. ” -mkaz80
“ He's not really an all star. He just really hates those cartoon birds that fly around when you hit your head, and is trying to get the one floating in front of him. Unfortunately for him, he missed. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Raul Ibanez was 37 years old when he made his first all star game. He wasn't even the oldest player on the Phillies that year, in fact he was nearly a decade younger than the oldest person on the team. ” -rmitchell6700
“ Yes, it was so necessary to add highlights to the updates. So necessary. ” -NJDevils
“ Fact: Phillies fans are the most respectable people in all of baseball. ” -RoyalChief
“ Upon learning who they voted for, fans were disappointed when they realized Ibanez was not Raul Julia whom they confused him with. ” -jupiterhill
“ Raul Ibanez was often pranked by teammate Jayson Werth. Ibanez got is revenge during the 2009 All-Star game Werth was called up to replace injured Carlos Beltran of the Mets. During batting practice Ibanez poured itching powder into all of Werths game socks forcing Werth to play sockless. ” -captkirk42
“ Topps designers and accountants found they save 3 cents a card in printing costs when there is a border this large and back side this plain. ” -ntlwhlr
“ This card is player number 1000 that left the Seattle Mariners to go on and have all star and career years. ” -parsley24
