March 9th - Name Tag Day

Today is Name Tag Day.

Check out this 1993 SP card of Colorado Rockie catcher Joe Girardi wearing a name dag during the Rockies inaugural spring training.

If you turn the card over you will discover that "Bryn Smith jokingly distributed badges such as the one Girardi is wearing to all the Rockies in spring training."

Crap! It's a "badge", not a name tag. Not sure this counts for Name Tag Day. 

Any other cards out there featuring name tags or badges?

January 31st was Backward Day

Originally I was looking for a card with a player wearing his hat backward, and I had several to choose from, but I found an even better card. It came in my most recent comc order.

This 1994 Stadium Club card of Mike Ignasiak is perfect for Backward Day. I've never seen a player wearing his jersey backward before. What about you? Have you ever seen another card with a player wearing his jersey backward?
