Celebrity Jersey Cards is a weekly series in which I create virtual trading cards for celebrities wearing jerseys. Today, I end a season-long march alphabetically through all MLB teams.
New York native Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta rose to fame as Lady Gaga. Gaga has racked up many awards and accolades including named the "Queen of Pop" in a 2011 ranking by Rolling Stone. One of her charitable endeavors is the Born This Way Foundation (BTWF), a non-profit organization that focuses on youth empowerment, which she founded in 2012. Gaga earned her Celebrity Jersey Card by wearing a Yankees jersey in her own style in a skybox at Yankee Stadium.
Born in South Africa, Philip Rabinowitz, became Phil Ramone, a South African-born American recording engineer, record producer, violinist and composer, and co-founder of A & R recording studio. Ramone worked with many musical artists, including Billy Joel, whose The Stranger album featured Ramone, Joel and others pictured on the back in what seems to be the same photo shoot as Rmone's Celebrity Jersey Card below.

Nice way to use the two photos of Ramone. That looks like a very retro Yankees jersey, which couldn't have been so easy to obtain back then. I wonder what the story is.
Good point. Back then, it wasn't easy to get any jerseys.
