Fair Use Rationale for Billy Ripken

 * No free equivalent can be created.
 * The image is used to illustrate a controversy concerning the presence of the words "FUCK FACE" within the image itself, which is discussed in the article.
 * This image OBVIOUSLY illustrates the subject in question. A picture of a baseball card is not an infringement in the same manner that a facsimile of that card would be. Unless the actual IMAGE of the baseball card is copyrighted, the exact image used, then this is a fair game shot. Otherwise, there would be no way to see a baseball card, other than to own it, or see it in person.
