Random miscellaneous baseball pictures

[Patsy Tebeau]

This will be a thread of the most random stuff that doesn't exactly fit into a specific category

EDIT: I know some TV networks are mega crazy with copyright stuff, so just to put a note here, this thread is simply for documenting and showing random pictures of baseball-related oddities and stuff and there is no copyright infringement intended here.

I am a random person, I do not profit off of this and neither does anyone else. It's just for fun.

From the Disney Jr. show 'Puppy Dog Pals.' This show has had MLB players appear as guest voice actors on it before and Teddy was famous enough to even get his own article on the Baseball Reference Bullpen.

A fun little April Fools' joke done by Topps in 2008, where they printed this card claiming this 'Kazuo Uzuki' fellow was a 14 year old superstar of the future with the back of the card reading as follows:
"Already being called 'The Uzi' by some for his 104 MPH fastball, Kaz will be the first Japan-based high-schooler to jump straight to professional baseball in America when he graduates in 2009. 'He is, hands down, the best pitching prospect I've seen in 30 years,' said one MLB scout. And one unnamed American League GM said, 'The contract this kid is going to get will be astronomical.' At age fourteen, he was the youngest player invited to the WBC squad trials and — although he was cut on the last day — he made a lasting impression with his 17 Ks in 7 innings of work during intrasquad matches."

People actually believed this and began selling it all over the internet and desperately trying to acquire it. Even after it was revealed to be a joke, the card is still somewhat of a collector's item because it was kind of rare to get in packs.

So who is the guy in the picture then if Kaz is a made up character? Apparently it was some college kid named Sensen Lin who isn't even much of a baseball fan and got paid to pose for the camera.

From the episode "Caillou Plays Baseball"

He appeared in the episode called "The Dignity of Teeth" and according to Cyborg was one of the greatest pitchers ever. He is very clearly based off of Orel Hershiser, based on the fact that 1. their names are very similar 2. Cyborg said he was nicknamed "The Bullldog" which was Hershiser's nickname, and 3. every single one of the accomplishments he claimed Oral Hygiene had were the exact same ones as Hershiser, such as having pitched 59 consecutive scoreless innings.
