I just found out that the Mets traded for Gary Matthews Jr.
As I was halfway out of a third floor window, a co-worker shouted that the Angels were set to pay $21.5 million of the $23 million remaining on his contract. So I shimmied back off the ledge, and ran over to this computer. I had to figure out if maybe this wasn’t that horrible. I mean, $1.5 million over two years could be good, right?
Recently, I Love Nerd York City posted a great Steve Lake card (remember the guy with the bird on his shoulder?) and speculated as to whether or not the ultra-literal “funny” cards that I made in my younger days included a Steve Lake card, seeing as how Mr. Lake’s last name is also a noun.
The name rang a bell and, searching through my stack of “funny” cards, I found one that I had made featuring Mr. Lake. I’m sure you can guess what it looks like. I hope Mr. Lake brought his hipwaders to the ballpark that day.

Did anyone else read “Highlights” magazine when they were a little kid? One of monthly features was a “hidden pictures” page, or a “spot the differences” page, where they would show you two pictures that were almost exactly the same…but with several slight differences. These usually included someone’s eyes looking in the opposite direction, or having a button missing from their shirt.
Anyway, all these years later, fate intervened and put these two cards one on top of the other in the Nerd Archive.



Considering the man in this picture is just wearing a Yankees t-shit, I thought that maybe someone bumped into the photographer, resulting in a casual fan appearing in Mr. Mohorcic’s place. This, however, is not the case. Two amazing stories about Mr. Mohorcic from Wikipedia (though neither explain the t-shirt wearing):
1) In a 1987 game against the Milwaukee Brewers, Mohorcic was accused of doctoring the baseball. Umpires found no evidence of wrongdoing at the time, but after the game Mohorcic complained of a sore throat, and was admitted to a hospital where it was discovered that he was suffering internal bleeding as a result of having Crohn’s disease and taking the pain reliever naproxen. It was erroneously reported by Peter Gammons that Mohorcic’s bleeding was caused by swallowing sandpaper.
2) Mohorcic played the part of Angels starting pitcher Dave Spiewak in the 1988 movie The Naked Gun.
