New Uni Watch- Hidden Messages
The new edition of Uni Watch is up, and it contains a very interesting section on messages written by players on their gear. Great job as usual.

Re: New Uni Watch- Hidden Messages
Good article, Eric.
I have a Cleveland Indians cap worn by Harold Baines and underneath is his wife's and 3 kid's names.
Anyone else have anything like this?

Any chance you can post a photo of it here? I think you should also send it to Paul Lukas- he always follows up on his stories. Maybe he'll include it in the next uni watch

Eric-
I have a Wally Backman Phillies hat that reads exactly as follows under the bill- F-CK FACE
Not sure why he would have this, however, I plan on meeting him next month at a card show in New York and will ask him about it. I only hope this does not turn into another Kirk Gibson saga!

Paying homage to the 1989 Fleer Billy Ripken baseball card?

Byergo-
I'm so far removed from baseball cards that I completely forgot about that incident. It may very well be the case. I'd have t look at 1991 Backman cards to see if he took any type of photo where the underside can be seen.
It should be rather interesting to see his response when I get it signed.

Reid-
I totally forgot about the Carlton hat story! First, he refuses to sign his 1986 green St. Pat's hat until I get the show promoter to force him, then the following year I ask him to sign a LOA stating that I own his 1983 NL Championship ring. Needless to say, I don't think I'm on Carlton's Christmas card list.
