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.
