LMAO @ Kurt Bevacqua. I remember that rant Tommy Lasorda made against Kurt after Kurt dissed Tommy.

Anyone remember the baseball card of Bevacqua's bubble that he blew? Topps put that one out in their 1976 card set. It became one of the most unique cards of the decade.

Kurt Bevacqua was the Bubble Gum Blowing Champion. I was 12 years old when I remembered seeing this.
