Kahn's is a meat processing and distribution company, famous for
their hot dogs, founded and based in Cincinnati. They started making
baseball cards in 1955 and continued into the late 1960's, focusing
mostly on the Reds. In 1987 they re-introduced a Cincinnati Reds team
set and have been producing a Reds set every year since. In honor of
Kahn's, the Reds, and wieners, I proudly present an entire week
dedicated to most phallic of foods and its Freudian presence in my
collection.
Day 2 - 1992
Featured prominently is the second year card of Schottzie, the Reds' officially unofficial mascot under the inimitable owner/curmudgeon/questionable-memorabilia-collector Marge Schott. Quality card. Barry Larkin stands out as the only player card on the page not at the plate.
Excellent pitching deliveries from Scott Bankhead and Jose Rijo. And a nice Dime Box-approved Darnell Coles.
Louie Pineilla undoubtedly is bottling up some rage in the center. And we close it out with a sneaky Tony Perez coaches card.
Nice wieners. Go Reds.
