Tribute to The Great Hambino

I didn’t do much today. I got up around noon a bit hungover, recovering from a fun night of beer drinking while watching the new Bee Gees documentary on HBO Max (I highly recommend it.)

I mostly just sat around all day like a fart on a log. Though, I did manage to make this little design, paying tribute to the one… the only… The Great Hambino!

My  The Great Hambino design is now available on a T-shirt.

Get it on my TeePublic online shop.

Or get in on my Cotton Bureau online shop (superior shirt quality).

I don’t follow professional Major League Baseball much these days. At this point in my life I can name more fictional baseball players than I can active major leaguers.

Fictional Baseball Players I can name:

  • Ham “The Great Hambino” Porter
  • Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn
  • Willie Mays Hayes
  • Pedro Cerrano
  • Kevin Costner
  • Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez
  • Rodger Dorn
  • Jack Taylor
  • The Natural
  • Kelly Leak
  • Madonna
  • Casey at the Bat
  • James Earl Jones
  • The Horse that Played Centerfield

Current Active Major Leaguers I can name:

  • Altuve
  • Rodney the arrow guy
  • Beard Tan
  • Mike Trout
  • Does Alvin Davis still play on the Mariners?

Ham Porter may not be able to run like Willy Mays Hayes, throw the heat like Wild Thing Vaughn, or drive a van like Kelly Leak, but no one can touch The Great Hambino in the trash-talking department.
