I know posts have been irregular lately, but I wanted to mark the opening of the football season with something you just don’t come across every day…a picture that would qualify as “nerd football.”
Apparently this is Bob Griese, a pro-football Hall-of-Famer, and two time Super Bowl winning quarterback.

Kent Tekulve baseball cards are truly the gifts that keeps giving. No one can touch him in the “lifetime achievement” category.
Question: Is this style pirates cap the tallest in baseball history? More evidence.
Full disclosure: While this card resides in the nerd archives, this is not an original scan, as once again, the scanner here at Nerd Central is on the fritz. I had to use google images to find a digital copy of the card, which is why the image quality is not up to usual NerdBaseball resolution standards. Thank you to this website for the image.

Apparently, my love for Mr. Atherton’s cards is never-ending. I have to admit, the eye-black is a nice touch.

Lots of great info on Mr. Wilson from Wikipedia:
Wilson was best known for his tremendous throwing arm, and led all National League outfielders for assists in 1985 and 1986, throwing out 18 and 20 base-runners from right field, respectively. In 1987, Wilson twice threw out base runners who attempted to reach first base after apparent singles into right field.
Wilson’s nickname was Glennbo, a reference to Rambo. Wilson also appeared in a Phillies promotional ad dressed as Rambo.
This is also the first card that I can recall featuring a glasses strap.
