Eric Plunk was traded for Ricky Henderson. Twice. In 1151 innings pitched, he hit 32 batters. Baseball Reference does not track how many of those 32 HBP provoked sports journalists into puns.

Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn
Thursday, January 7th, 2010 by I Love Nerd York CityI was planning on a post congratulating Barry Larkin and Roberto Alomar on becoming the newest first-ballot-hall-of-famers, and Bert Blyleven on finally getting the call. Whoops.
Anyway, here’s the nerdiest card from a hall-of-famer that I could find through a very quick google image search.

According to Professor Nerdtron, today marks the 100th nerd posted on this website. In recognition of this milestone, I encourage you all to raise a glass with Mr. Grubb, and celebrate his place in history. And his disembodied fingers.

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.

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.
