Dinger can refer to:

A slang term referring to persons of East-Indian descent
A type of bell-headed monster from the children's television show Sesame Street

A character in the 1989 film Dream a Little Dream
OED: "Something superlative in a positive sense"
Ancient Sumerian word for 'God.'

and it looks like Ryan is trying to pick-pocket Pujols (say that ten times fast) in that shot!!

Young, a mascot AND a blue border? Sweet. The Martin comment was awesome.

Justin McLeod said...

I'm behind on the commenting-on-each post.

Nachos Grande said...

That Holliday card makes me sick. The Aroldis card is a good antidote. Now if only the Reds would make him a starter...

Laurie said...

I didn't know anything about the 'Spot the error' cards. I have never seen one!

Fuji said...

Sweet Kurt Suzuki... he should be worth a lot more than a +1 IMHO. Then again... I don't really want to help out an Angels fan either ;-)

Cardhobbyist said...

The only error I can spot on that card is that there is a Phillie on it

Morgan said...

I think they got the costume for their mascot out of a bin of leftovers from Barney.

Mariner1 said...

The Halman card always makes me sad that he met his tragic end so soon last offseason.

Dhoff said...

I scored some points, and off a Coca-cola ad. I didn't expect that. Nice.

JediJeff said...

You couldn't make a Dog the bounty hunter Chapman joke on that last card?

AdamE said...

Why the heck would Koji yell Baby Trees?

For a guy that post pictures of hot chicks, how do you give someone points for a card of a player that is almost totally blocked from the camera by a guy crabbing another guys ass?

bamlinden said...

I don't care what a Dinger is....it's my new favorite mascot.

And new favorite card.

Stacked!!

Jafronius said...

I don't get the Opening Day set. Why is the design the same as the base set? I do like the mascot cards though.

And dawgbones beat me to the pick-pocket Pujols card!

Dawgbones said...

Okey dokey. Dinger got an extra point for the Coke ad. I should get extra points for the Phanatic being from my favorite team...
