Apparently there is some football game on Sunday - Ricky Bottalico is Ready
1998 UD Collector's Choice #204 Ricky Bottalico
Ricky appears to be relaxing in the dugout or bullpen, This shot was likely taken during BP and Botallico won't need to take the field for several hours. I am sure staying loose with a couple of tosses of the old pigskin isn'a a bad idea.
Today Ricky is still in the Phillies family working the the pre- and postgame shows for Phillies broadcasts.
There in no shortage of baseball cards with football references. Among the recent ones is the 2014 Topps card of Mark DeRosa who was a QB at U Penn and also the Sean Doolittle card which features an Oakland Raiders sign.
There are even cards of Hall of Famers working on their football skills.

Happy New Year, Year of the Horse that is - 1994 UD Collectors Choice #253 Curt Schilling
Friday January 31st is New Years, Chinese New Year. Within the Chinese Zodiac we are moving into the Year of the Horse. Over the next couple of weeks we will take a look at a few Year of the Horse ball players.
1994 UD Collectors Choice #253 Curt Schilling
Thanks to former Phillies GM Ed Wade, Curt Schilling is the perfect poster boy for Year of the Horse. Wade once famously quipped Schilling was a "horse" every fifth day, and a "horse's ass" the other four.
I think that pretty much makes Curt Schilling our Year of the Horse rep for birth year 1966, but there are a few other notables
1966 baseball Horses:
Greg Maddux
Tom Glavine
Past Chinese New Years Postings
Year of the Snake (2013)
Year of the Dragon (2012)
Year of the Rabbit (2011)
Year of the Tiger 2010
Year of the Ox (2009)
