This is Mr. Knicely’s 1986 Topps card. Anyone want to guess which television drama about cops in South Beach was a top-ten-hit that year?

Here we have another high-achieving nerd. Mr. Thornton had seven seasons in which his OPS+ was 123 or greater, made two all-star games, won the Roberto Clemente Award in 1979, and won a silver slugger award in 1984. And he wore those amazing glasses.

And don’t forget to vote for the 2009 Nerd All-Star Team.
Not to be confused with Bruce Bochy, the manager of the San Francisco Giants. In researching the nerds that I post, I rarely find a player whose career takes more than a few minutes to digest. However, in the case of Mr. Bochte, there is a LOT going on. He made the all-star team in 1979. His career OPS+ is 113, over the course of almost 6000 plate appearances. However, Mr. Bochte off the field seems to be a fascinating character.
