Borat mixed with Fred Armisen anyone? Anyone?

You’ve got to hand it to the Studio sets. They had a vision, and that vision was realized.
Mr. Thompson was in the National League’s top 7 in WAR twice in his career. According to Wikipedia, he used the same glove for almost his entire career, and was offended when the San Francisco Chronicle published a story titled “Thompson’s Ugly, Pathetic Glove is a Gem.”

We may have to have some sort of voting to determine the best use of the “distorted faces” tag….
Mr. Gibson played in eight seasons for the Tigers, Mets, and Yankees. Wikipedia also lists him as a member of the Brewers, Blue Jays, and Pirates, but he did not play in a game for any of them.

Happy Opening Day!!!
Thursday, March 31st, 2011 by I Love Nerd York CityHey everybody, long time no see. In honor of opening day, I’d like to invite everyone back to Nerd Baseball.
We are looking to get back to a more regular posting schedule, but for now, enjoy this Tom Henke card from Vorpy McNerd. He doesn’t know what set it’s from, but it looks like 1988 or 1989 Topps to me, and it looks like he cropped Mr. Henke’s name off for some reason.
Anyway, baseball is back. Life is good.

The run on Vorpy’s ’92 Score set continues…What struck me when I saw Mr. Briley’s eye-wear for the first time was their similarity to Jon Lajoie’s “Rapist Glasses.” Mr. Briley is now a minor-league hitting coach in the Chicago White Sox organization.

When I posted the Matt Young card last month, I challenged anyone to show me a card more deserving of the “distorted faces” tag. Well Vorpy has responded, and responded with great force, by sending me this Tim Leary card. While Mr. Leary gets a small pass in my book due to his pose being mid-pitch, this is an awfully strong entry in the “distorted faces” camp.
Not to be confused with the psychedelic drug advocate, this Tim Leary played in the major leagues for 13 seasons. He finished his career with almost 1500 innings pitched, an ERA+ of 90, a World Series ring, and the 1988 “Comeback Player of the Year” award.
