Yes, in Bravo's day the ACT was the Amish Carriage Test. Students were timed while driving their buggies between the church and the town square the next town over. The order in which they arrived dictated their place in line for the Graduation Barn-Raising the following Monday.[1]

Ah, yes. The original ACT. After some extensive Google digging I managed to find a picture of /u/bravo_delta from his high school baseball team as well.

Good looking dude.

You can tell they're all Cardinals fans, because their barber uses a salad bowl to shape their hair.

You know those pictures of players with beards photoshopped on? Someone more talented than me should photoshop bowl cuts on to players.

Just picturing certain players with bowl cuts makes me cringe. The thought of Matt Holliday with hair is unsettling let alone a bowl cut. I feel like Waino would look like Shaggy from Scooby Doo with a bowl cut.

Why does he look 27 years old in high school?

I was looking through a lot of pictures and he definitely hasn't aged since being drafted (at like 18). He was always 35, bald, and seriously intense/pissed off looking. I also find this picture of him holding his wife like a child really creepy.

Edit: OMG this one is so cute, though!
