When you first look at this card, it catches your eye because it's a great action shot. Rico is all splayed out trying to score, it's really a great image. But what makes this card a legend is the woman in the stands just up and to the left of Rico's helmet. Check her out! White shades, amazing smile, nice figure, and she's on the edge of her seat. I bet she still remembers that play.

Random card. Tony Cloninger.
Look at young Tony. It's like he knew that one day he'd hit 2 grand slams in one game and set the all time record for a pitcher with 9 RBI in a single game. He's still the only pitcher to hit 2 slams in a game.
According to the card back from a different card, he also once pitched a one hitter with a broken toe. According to the cartoon, he also did it with an extremely large and out of shape baseball.
*Of the 13 players who have hit 2 grand slams in the same game, only one did so in his home park (Nomar Garciaparra May 10, 1999)*
