Stroll Through the Card Collection: The Perm
[To make sure that the readers get an occasional sampling of the Worthless Baseball Cards strewn out amongst the 20 or so pages in our virtual binder, we have decided to bring you along on a weekly stroll through a random sampling of the card collection based on one of the many categories that our subjects have been separated into.]
If this site was an 80’s movie – and let’s face it, we would be thrilled if it was – the role of star high school quarterback that is showered with attention would be played by the jheri curl, while the role of under-appreciated dork sitting on the bleachers would be played by the standard perm.

Please forgive me if that doesn’t make sense, I assure you it’s crystal clear in my head.
The general point is that on JoeSportsFan.com, we love our well-hydrated jheri curls, but sometimes we lavish praise on that specific ground breaking 80’s hair style without giving equal time to what amounts to the jheri curl minus the Soul Glo. All things considered, when celebrating the overall fashion sense of the 70’s and 80’s athlete, a tight, non-hydrated perm can be tough to beat.
No place is that more obvious than in the Worthless Card Collection “perm” tag.
19 brave souls have qualified for inclusion in this prestigious group by not only sporting a hair style that looks like they left an obscene amount of curlers in for 72 hours, but by being fearless enough to take that beyond the confines of the hat/helmet so all the world can appreciate it.
The player note for the gentlemen pictured above says it all in our opinion:
“Perfect Harmony” is the only way to describe the word “Sweet” stitched on the back of a jersey just inches below this man’s hair.”
Sweet, indeed.
