What were they thinking when they made this card.....the back.     http://www.tradingcarddb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/171/cid/77709/1991-Upper-Deck-258-Jose-Lind

Looks like LInd was going for the stand up, back of the head Tea Bagging.  Bet you can't get that high up in the air anymore.

Thank God they didn't use this for the front, or thank goodness the leapee did not turn around.

This was back when UD was something "fresh". They were trying to do something different with cards by using off-beat photos such as this.

Unfortunately they let the presses roll, and made too much junk. What once was very appealing, now makes my stomach feel like it's all knotted up. I blame this very set for the rise of the insert, with the SP1 of Michael Jordan in a baseball uniform, and the hype that it caused.

That was just bad timing of the photo. Imagine how awesome the photo would look if Lind was completely over his teammate's head in mid-jump. Guys at the ballpark got to have some fun before the game and showing your leaping ability is pretty impressive if you clear the guy. If this was his mid-jump, a split-second later would have made for a hilarious photo! 

"I swear I can do it, just give me one more chance!"

Alright, last take.  TAKE 167!
