Justice League International (League)

Here we see the four members of the Memphis Chapter of the International League (Of Superheroes), signing some autographs before the game. Are you not familiar with the Memphis Chapter of the International League (Of Superheroes)? Allow me to introduce you!

The Hulk: With the ability to play in a time prior to steroid (and now HGH, thanks, new CBA!) testing!

Iron Man: With the ability to wear even more hit-by-pitch avoidance armor than Barry Bonds!

Rick Ankiel: With the ability to throw things really fast in random directions from sixty feet, six inches away!*

The Memphis Redbird: With the ability to fly! And be from Memphis! Or something!

*Also, grit.

Author’s note: I am fully aware the Justice League is a DC Comics group of superheroes, and the superheroes on this comic book cover are Marvel comics. My preemptive retort to those who would bring up this point of fact is as follows: NERD!

Other author’s note: hat tip to Pitchers and Poets on tumblr for bringing this excellent cover to my attention.

Jack, I don’t think Rick Ankiel is a Marvel comic. He’s actually published by Dark Horse.
