This is AWESOME! I'm going have to start digging to find cards of guys shattering hockey sticks!

My favorites are the Bo Jackson one (where he breaks the bat on his knee) and the Andre Dawson one.

I like that the 92 Score & 93 Upper Deck John Vander Wal cards both used the exact same photo.

I am also pretty sure that in the 97 Donruss Chuck Knoblauch card, Keith Olberman's mom got hit in the head with the bat.

Joe Oliver has his career pretty-much summed up in his card: Broken bat while hitting in the batting cage.

My other observation (and one I've known for some time, but was just reminded): Cecil Fielder was FAT! The guy must be 10 feet around!

Wonder what his kid looks like?

I like the fact that you have mostly action shots of broken bats, you have the Randy Johnson "I throw so hard I break bats" shot, then you have the Duane Kuiper-posing-with-a-broken-bat-for-seemingly-no-reason shot...that card is charmingly odd...
