Uniform. Unibrow.

Baseball is upon us so here is a press photo of Wally Moon, an old school player who had a pretty good career with the Cardinals and Dodgers in the 50's and 60's and also sported one of the all-time great unibrows in baseball history.

Almost Vulcan in his intensity and appearance.

His baseball cards are epic:

Eye-black for the tops of your eyes.
Stops the glare from the dirt and grass,
might just catch on.

Almost like he doesn't know it's there.
Like a prank taken to a whole other level.
We mean a whole, whole other level.

And now, for a bonus, PengoSports' favorite two baseball cards:

Keith Comstock's 'baseball to the groin' classic from 1989.

Bob Uecker's 'I'm batting left handed' wonder card.
One of the few cards in the PengoSports Vault.

The Perfect Shots!

Sports photography is all about being in the right place at the right time and being prepared for the shot. Well, well, well. If that is the case PengoSports just nailed these two!

Pretty sweet! It's all in the reflexes.

Well, this is a bit awkward. Is it Prostate Awareness Month?

Lidsville!

"In the middle of the summer, in the middle of a park,
There began a great adventure for a boy whose name was Mark
He had come to see the magic man, along with all the children and
'twas so began the day that Mark was never to forget..."

"...If you have a chance to go-go there
You'll be glad you did, 'cause
Everybody who goes to Lidsville really flips his lid"
