BRUSS!!!

1978 Topps #297 Brusstar

Funky birthday greetings to Phillies (and later White Sox and Cubs) reliever Warren Brusstar, who was born on this day in 1952.

I post his '78 Topps card just about every year on this date on the Big Hair and Plastic Grass Facebook page, because, well, how could you not?

As if Warren's perm n' pornstache combo wasn't righteous enough, the unruly unibrow, gigantic chaw, mesmeric stare and matted chest hair yearning to breathe free all conspire to make this truly one of the most quintessential baseball cards of the 1970s.
