Despite being listed at 5’9″ and 160 lbs., Mr. Tolleson bypassed a career in the NFL by signing with the Texas Rangers after the 1978 draft. That same year, his senior year at Western Carolina University, he was an All-American wide receive, and led the nation in receptions. With this athleticism, you would think he would have posted better than his career .307 OBP, and .293 slugging in over 2300 AB’s.

Possibly the biggest disparity between a too loose jersey and too tight pants in nerd history. Also, the first ambidextrous nerd. Mr. Dayley has since founded The Fauxcademy of Decorative Finishing.

According to Wikipedia, Mr. Quirk held the career home run record (43) for players whose last names started with “Q” until Mark Quinn passed him in 2002. Carlos Quentin passed that mark in 2008, and is the current record holder.

If you check out a player’s baseball-reference.com page, you can usually find something interesting to talk about. Some weird statistical trend, an unexpected performance, a top-ten stats category you didnt know existed…unfortunately, here’s the best I’ve got for Mr. Quinones: In 1989, Mr. Quinones was 3rd in the National League in sacrifice flies (with 8).
While many baseball nerds have the “hat placement” tag bestowed upon them, Mr. Quinones is the first to receive the coveted “helmet placement” tag.

I love these prop-nerd-cards.
Nothing says baseball like string hammocks, garden statues, and guitars.
Upping the ante is Mr. Flannery:
Did he just happen to have his board at the park that day, or did he plan on having it there for picture day?

I wanted to spread the nerd love around before doubling-up on any player. I really did.
The problem is that I have the Nerd Archives organized alphabetically by last name, and time and time again this card greeted me from the top of the pile. I just couldn’t help myself. It’s almost not fair. When it comes to nerd cards, it’s like Mr. Atherton is playing on a totally different level.
Now it’s up to you to decide: which card is nerdier, this one, or Mr. Atherton’s 1989 Fleer? Make sure to vote by clicking on the stars!
