Yes, you are seeing that correctly. That is Hall of Fame pitcher Rollie Fingers in all of his mustachioed glory, riding a dolphin in front of a rainbow, engraved in ink on Oakland A’s pitcher Dallas Braden’s left upper arm.
Okay, okay, I have serious doubts this is real. For one, its gleam in light reminds me of those temporary tattoos kids can get at Chuck E. Cheese’s. Second, the Facebook caption for the photo mentions Braden is shooting promos for the upcoming season, and knowing how quirky ads can be for MLB teams, the ink may very well just be for an ad promoting Oakland’s Rollie Fingers bobblehead giveaway.

Brad Peacock isn’t even ranked in the top 150 starters for CBS. Then again they have Javier Vazquez ranked 47th overall and he retired, so there’s that. Here’s what I said when he was traded to the A’s, “Peacock had a great season in Double- and Triple-A last year, putting up a 2.39 ERA and a 177/47 K/BB line. The A’s basically got Gio Gonzalez...

Apparently the way you do it in the 209 is by tattooing Rollie Fingers riding a dolphin on a rainbow:
Sadly, this looks like it’s has been done for an upcoming Athletics commercial and not ink that will mark Braden’s body for the rest of his life.
If I had to choose, I’d have to go with Eddie Murray riding a unicorn over a gorgeous sunset. With Ken...
