Recently, I Love Nerd York City posted a great Steve Lake card (remember the guy with the bird on his shoulder?) and speculated as to whether or not the ultra-literal “funny” cards that I made in my younger days included a Steve Lake card, seeing as how Mr. Lake’s last name is also a noun.
The name rang a bell and, searching through my stack of “funny” cards, I found one that I had made featuring Mr. Lake. I’m sure you can guess what it looks like. I hope Mr. Lake brought his hipwaders to the ballpark that day.

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?

A few weeks ago, we kicked off Nerd Baseball’s periodic “Funny” Cards feature with my incredibly literal take on Steve Trout. Now we have another attempt at humor by my 11-year-old self.
There are so many disturbing things about this particular “funny” card. Here they are, in no particular order (feel free to add your own in the comments):
- The fact that there are two Kenny Rogers, one who pitches and one who sings is probably the most obvious joke I could have made. It’s hard to overstate just how unfunny this is.
- For some reason, I drew a bass guitar. I don’t think Kenny Rogers was a bass guitarist. I don’t think he was an anything guitarist.
- I bothered to draw tuning pegs on the headstock of the guitar, but didn’t bother to have the guitar strings attach to the tuning pegs.
- I didn’t bother to look for a non-action shot card of Rogers to use, which could have produced a much more realistic guitar playing impression. Instead, I used this card, so it looks like he’s throwing the guitar, rather than playing it.
- Kenny Rogers was playing major league baseball in 1991. Didn’t he play last year?

Yikes.
