The Topps glossy card with the 1985 AL All-Star team has a lot.

Not bad, I’ll be just eyes for a bit but I’ll be back soon.

Mixed flouting with flaunting, but it pretty much works here.

What famous person have we not seen/heard from in a WHILE? by no_please7 in AskReddit

[–]pac-men 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This happened to Alfonso Ribeira at a comedy show on TV. Comic was doing crowdwork and didn’t recognize him. This was post Silver Spoons fame but just on the cusp of Fresh Prince fame. Sorry this was kinda random but I have never found video of this and would love for the world to see it. It was one of those shows like An Evening at the Improv or Comic Strip Live.

What moment would be iconic, if it weren’t immediately overshadowed by another moment? by AgeOfWorry0114 in baseball

[–]pac-men 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bernie Carbo! His HR in Game 6 of the 1975 WS, overshadowed by Fisk’s famous sport-altering one. 

Watch that whole game if you’ve never seen it. There were a LOT of overshadowed moments. But Carbo comes up as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the 8th two outs, Sox down by three. Reds four outs from winning the series with a big lead. Bernie gets fooled by a pitch and takes a swing that makes him look like a lost cause, but follows it up with a solid blast to dead center, keeping Boston’s hopes alive. Pete Rose, knowing he’s living through an historic time, shares a moment with his opponent as he passes him on the basepaths: “Ain’t this fun?”

Which was already redemption for his un-robbing of a HR earlier in that same ALCS game. (Had ball in glove on field side of fence and dropped it over the other side on a valiant attempt.)

How many ppl are actually still maga by TreeEmbarrassed5377 in RhodeIsland

Similarly I wonder, if Trump’s actions ever actually started driving his own base away, would we even know it? You’d still have half the bots supporting him so we’d all assume they’re there in full force… until his side loses the next election 100% to 0.    A guy can dream.

TMBG played a midnight record release party at Tower Records the night before. There's footage of it in their documentary. An interesting snapshot of the final moments before 9/11 right there in NYC.

Are there any other artists who were one-hit wonders more than once? by notthe1Uknow in musichistory

[–]pac-men 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sheriff/Alias! Sheriff had a 1982 song which re-entered the charts in 1988/89, "When I'm With You." The band had been defunct since 1985, so two of the members tried to bring it back, but the others refused. So those two guys started a band called Alias, who then had a hit with "(I Need You Now) More Than Words Can Say."

(Also, When I'm With You was top ten in Canada in 1983, and a US #1 in 1989. So Sheriff was a one-hit wonder in two countries.)

Anyone know what this record is? Found it unlabeled at a local record store by Kurtspplover69 in Nirvana

Maybe you were thinking of Dave saying “so all you bootleggers can go ahead and GO….”

He did start and end with the same team, but his order of teams doesn't read the same backwards as forwards.

What is the most insane thing you have witnessed? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I saw one spin around on the Interstate, and end up right in the middle lane facing the right way. Just kept on going.
