Renaissance?

Friday, January 22nd, 2010 by Prof. Nerdtron 3000

We all know that nerds in baseball are on the decline. Hopefully, this trend is about to stop. Yesterday, the Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays signed 16 year old Czech phenom Štěpán Havlíček. After seeing what he looks like, I am very much looking forward to his first baseball card. Havlíček is on the right.

Happy Nerd Year!

Happy New Year from everyone at Nerd Central. Sadly enough, when I ran a Google image search for “Mets” and “champagne,” the best picture is this old:

santa01Yes, Vorpy, there is a Santa Claus.

In 2007, Topps released a 14 card “Santa Claus” set. Some of them came with autographed Santa cards.

Happy Holidays.

If you didn’t get enough Joe Nolan from our previous post, check him out again, in what is quite possibly the silliest-looking base running celebration of all time:

Thanks to Dr. Nerd for remembering Mr. Nolan from his days of working for the Orioles.

After posting yesterday about the different pranks Mr. Johnstone was involved with, I was able to find this video on YouTube that documents another prank that was not mentioned yesterday. Check it out:

Mr. Davis broke a New York Yankees record by striking out eight consecutive batters in a single relief appearance. He also co-owns the record for most blown saves in a single season, with 14. He actually had 5 seasons throughout his career (‘79, ‘80, ‘81, ‘83, ‘85) that I wouuld categorize between “good” and “great.” In two of these he actually averaged over 10 K’s per 9 innings. For a nerd, this is the eqivalent of hall-of-fame level production.
