George Brett, Bo Jackson, and the Finger of Honor
If ever, reader, you were the sort to click on an image with a view to embiggening it, this post — and, specifically, the image embedded here to the right — represents an excellent opportunity to revisit that practice.
Never clicked and embiggened before? It’s not as difficult or dangerous as it sounds. What’s really central to it is the clicking part, as the embiggening is actually just the result of that cause.
What one will find in this photo, after the appropriate measures have been taken, is Hall of Famer George Brett and teammate Bo Jackson, circa 1989, presenting from the lush fields of Baseball City, FL what is known to aristocrats everywhere as the doigt d’honneur — presenting it both to (a) some sort of freelance photographer and (b) future Americans, like us.
This image, signed by Brett himself, appears to be available in exchange for American currency, via reputable online auction house and retailer of pornographic materials eBAY.
Finger of honor to FanGraphs editor Robert Sanchez.
No chance of a super bowl half time show for those two.
I’m sort of embarrassed at how much I’m considering purchasing this photograph. Someone do me a favor and snatch it up in the next hour or two.
It appears that it has been sold already. And for only $7.99, what a steal!
I’ve been saved!
Facsimile autograph of Brett. Says so in the description. In that case $7.99 seems a bit high.
¡¡¡¡¡Blasphemy!!!!!!!! It is worth its weight in gold!
The pine tar incident changed my life, and so did Bo Jacksons swing and 81 yard run.
also, thats about the going rate for a glossy photo on ebay.
It was a 91 yard run.
Is it just me, or does Bo look like he might have been hitting the andro?
Bo was 230 pounds coming out of high school.
Just me then. It was mostly the prominent vein.
lonnie love does a joke about how white people and black people give the “digit of honor” differently. i kind of thought she was making it up…but it’s true at least 1 time haha.
another one is available!
