“ If you're a Trekkie, you'd know that's either the best or worst surname for a pitcher. Either the opposition goes up against him and they're in for a "no-win scenario", or the team that employs Kobayashi is in for a no-win scenario when he pitches. He had an MLB career 4-5 record, so all this sci-fi talk can be disregarded. ” -DanD

“ Well, no more Indians. It really won't sink in for me when next season starts. Putting that aside, this really doesn't look like an SN, yet it is. I hate that type of card. ” -BigBoyOnWheels
“ Kobayashi is the name of a character in one of my favorite movies, “The Usual Suspects”.

“ Decent design... kinda plain. ” -BigDaddy
“ Nice design. I think there was an upper deck football design that is almost exactly like one, on the front at least. Minus The RC logo which is exclusively Topps. ” -captkirk42
