Before you shoot down this idea, know that it came to me in a dream. This came to me in an honest-to-goodness real nighttime dream. In my dream...I was a blogger. A card blogger. Tough to believe, I know. A card blogger who gained internet fame, credibility, and notoriety by creating a very unique Frankenset.
The Male Pattern Baldness Frankenset.
This is what I dream about. This is the best that my subconscious can come up with. It's so sad.
So, if I decided to put this together, what balding, thinning, aging gentlemen would I put in it? How about a Hall-of-Famer?

What about tennis? There hasn't been anyone to go bald from that sport has there?
Oh yeah.
I'm beginning to think that making this set is a bad idea. A very bad idea.
So it's a no-go. My better judgment says to stay as far away from these chrome domes as I can. What is the farthest thing possible away from these guys?

I think that should be a safe pick.
What say you --
did I miss any notorious baldness sufferers?
You missed the two most obvious, in Harmon Killebrew and Matt Williams.
ReplyDeleteYou should do the baldness set. That would be epic!!!
ReplyDeleteI think that while difficult to complete, that may be a cool set to collect. I can't think of any other follicly challenged players at this time though. Maybe Gordie Howe?
