Mr. Breining appeared to be in the middle of a decent career as a relief pitcher, when, according to Wikipedia, he blew out his shoulder throwing the ball to first base on a bunt attempt. The Expos lost an arm out of the bullpen, but future generations lost a career that promised to be chock-full-of-nerd cards.

Nerdiest ever. No contest.
Nerd Baseball believes in democracy, and the people have voted Fred Manrique as the nerdiest ever.
In unrelated news, Nerdicus Finch will be glad to see that your site has paid proper homage to one of his alltime favorite baseball players, Rusty Kuntz.
Another flagrant example of airbrushing on a baseball card. I’d say both the hat and jacket are faked and the background is definitely faked.
