Nabisco, Walmart and the Children/s Miracle Network apparently brought this poster to be. The poster is meant to be used as a growth chart for kids and also has a message to stay in school and stay off drugs. All good advice for sure.
The selection of players is interesting. I know there were a number of food related ad campaigns going on around this time (presumably late 90s/early 00's). Cal Ripken Jr is the star of the poster. Along with a large drawing of Cal, his "friends" include several future Hall of Famers and a couple other guys. Steve Garvey, Ozzie Smith, Alan Trammell, Javy Lopez, George Foster, Harmon Killebrew and Frank Robinson all appear as drawings along the bottom edge.
Guessing this was either a free giveaway at schools, point of sale retail displays or public appearance events or perhaps it was a free with purchase type of promotion. Trying to find more out about it is proving fruitless, as most of those companies featured bring up endless web hits when searched.
Steve Garvey does have a fair number of posters he is featured on. Some are mainstream, like the popular Sports Illustrated offerings of the 70s-80s and some are pretty obscure. I'll eventually circle back around and feature additional posters at a later date.
