Classic Sports Card of The Day – CAUTION: X-Rated!
Billy Ripken had a decent major league career as an infielder, but nothing close to the career enjoyed by brother Cal Ripken Jr., baseball’s all-time iron man.

Classic Team Logo of The Day

The Philadelphia Flyers are in a bit of a hole in this year’s Stanley Cup Finals, but even if they don’t come back and win they should celebrate a terrific season. This 1980 Topps card of Flyers’ goalie Wayne Stephenson is from the era when goalie masks were still “Friday the 13th” scary.
