This is a regular feature which attempts to combine my life long passion for baseball cards with my semi-professional interest in celebrities. Today I am celebrating Jimmy Buffett, then and now.
Jimmy Buffett was born in Mississippi and raised in Alabama. Both states are without a major pro sports team. Buffett's laid back music works well in a city like New Orleans. I'll say his #22 is for former defensive back Fred Thomas, although I am probably way off. In a Celebrity Jersey Card time warp, this card was released before the Saints were even in existence. My cards, my rules.
A much younger Jimmy Buffett is scene wearing a Miami Dolphins jersey on this alternative Celebrity Jersey Card. This early wearing of a #22 jersey indicated that the #22 might be a personal thing for Buffett. Still, I will recall Mercury Morris, a great #22 from that era.
