Another strange card from our friend Paul’s collection. Paul explains:
“Steve Lake lists hobbies and interests as “Raising birds including Ruffles, pictured on the front of this card…restoring cars…likes to watch ESPN…49ers fan.” Ruffles is actually printed in boldface on the card.
Nerdicus Finch, with a last name that is also a noun, do I smell the opportunity for a Steve Lake funny card?

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.

What is happening in this photo? It looks like Nolan is trying to navigate some sort of catwalk.
In addition to being an Albert Brooks look-a-like, Nolan was also a pretty decent part-time catcher. In 11 seasons, he never had more than 264 at-bats and posted a 95 OPS+, which is actually not bad for a part-time catcher. Even though this is a 1986 card, Nolan did not play in 1986 at all. In fact, his final game in the majors was June 25, 1985.

Love this card…but come back on Thursday to witness Mr. Downing achieve the first successful nerd-to-non-nerd conversion.

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?

Mr. Pena was a four time Gold Glove winner, and a five time All-Star. He managed the Kansas City Royals from 2002-2006, and has been a base/bench coach for the New York Yankees since then.

So many questions to be asked here: what happened between 1988 and 1989 that improved Mr. Nichols's mood so dramatically? Why is he wearing his catcher helmet like a baseball cap in 1988? Why is he still in an Orioles uniform in 1989 when he played the whole season for the Houston Astros?
Whatever those answers may be, we thank Carl Nichols for embracing the spirit of nerd baseball, and wearing his heart so expressively on his sleeve.
