A fishy Studio error

Check out the bottom of Wade Boggs's 1992 Studio card.

HEROES: General Schwarzkopf and Eric Hetzel
"When growing up, I wanted to fish like him."

I do believe that something is missing in between those lines. When Wade Boggs was growing up, Eric Hetzel was five years younger than him and living in a different state, and Norman Schwarzkopf was a military officer who was rising steadily through the Army ranks but was not known nationally for either his military experience or any fishing prowess.

And who, growing up, has a fishing idol anyway?

  1. Boggs is apparently a fishing nut:
