In going through the nerd archive looking for a nerd to post, I came upon this Jerry Reed card. And while nerd purists may be upset that two posts in a row feature guys who don’t have the big glasses, dated haircuts, etc., I hope many of you can appreciate the psycho-peepers on Mr. Reed.
Without further ado, HEEEERE’s JERRY…

While Mr. Young does not appear to be very nerdy, I am posting his card in order to raise the bar for the “distorted faces” tag. I challenge anyone to show me a baseball card that can top Mr. Young in that category. Also, it looks like he’s imitating the “Handy Man” character from In Living Color.
On April 12, 1992, Mr. Young threw an unofficial no hitter. He allowed two runs on seven walks and an error, becoming the fourth pitcher to throw a no-hitter in a losing effort. Since his team was on the road, he pitched a complete 8 inning game, which does not qualify as a “true no hitter.”

According to Wikipedia, Mr. Eichhorn seems to have had an amazing career. In 1982, only 38 innings into his pro career, he suffered a major shoulder injury, which robbed him of his velocity. He didn’t resurface in the majors until 1986, with an extreme sidearm delivery. That year, he pitched 157 innings, AS A RELIEF PITCHER! His ERA was 1.72, his WHIP was .955, and he struck out 166 batters. Had he pitched five more innings, he would have qualified for the AL ERA title.
In his 11 seasons in the pros, Mr. Eichhorn had three seasons in which his ERA+ was over 200, and five more seasons when it was over 123.
Oh, and for part of his career, he was the setup man for Tom Henke.
