In Keith Comstock’s 1989 ProCards baseball card he has his uniform on, with his hands stretched out in front of him, and has a horribly pained look on his face. His eyes are squeezed shut. His mouth is open, like he’s letting out a scream. But what makes this card truly stand out is the location of the baseball in the photo.
Once Comstock was demoted from the San Diego Padres to the Las Vegas Aces in AAA he came up with the idea for this card. After some trial and error, Comstock figured out he could get the ball to stick to his pants (for at least a few seconds) with the help of some super glue. None of the other players on the team would let their photo be taken until after Comstock so the photographer was required to take this picture.
