This card may force us here at NerdBaseball to reconsider Chris Sabo’s place in nerd baseball history. While Mr. Sabo is considered by most to be the pioneer of Rec-Specs in MLB, this card seems to suggest otherwise. While Sabo first appeared for the Reds in 1988, we see Mr. Porter here sporting what appear to be Rec-Specs in 1984, almost a half-decade before Mr. Sabo’s rookie season.
But are these really Rec-Specs, or simply weird oversized glasses? The front view certainly suggests Rec-Specs, but the side view above gives me pause.
Either way, this is not the last that we will see of Mr. Porter, and his eyewear selection.
What does everyone think?
