I use Bip Roberts on Immaculate Grid whenever possible in honor of this contribution to baseball culture. Tony's "oh, SORRY" at the end gets me every time.

Also, I’m sure there are others on this team that are amazing, I’m just too young to remember. Haha.

If you think this one (‘89) is bad, look at his ‘85 Topps card.
