I was extremely disturbed to see that Mr. Manrique has been knocked out of the #1 all-time spot by Kent Tekulve 2.0. So I thought I should remind everyone of Mr. Manrique’s greatness. Vote anything less than 5 stars at your own risk.
Tags: 1989, Chicago White Sox, facial hair, Fred Manrique, glasses, score, second base, you're nuts if you don't vote 5 stars for this guy
Did the White Sox have an almost all-nerd team in the late 80s? Oh, and am I the only person who thinks that Score could have worded it differently that he was ‘sold’ to the Expos? Sounds like he was a slave…
Powerful nerd-itude!
Is it me, or did baseball players age differently in th 70s and 80s? I mean, in this photo, Mr. Manrique is still in his 20s! How is that possible?
He looks like a cross between Fred Armisen and Edward James Olmos.
Score didn’t even have walks as a stat. Terrible baseball cards. I really don’t think this is a nerdier picture than the 89 fleer, though. I only gave it a 4.
You surprise me, Doc – I never thought it would be you who would vote against Manrique. You’re on the wrong side of history, pal.
As much as I love Manrique as top nerd, I want his 89 fleer to be the card he wears into the Hall of Fame.
