Mr. Pena made five All-Star teams, and won four Gold Glove awards.  He managed the Royals from 2002 – 2005, and is currently a bench coach for the Yankees.

Bonus points for the turtleneck and huge jersey.

Mr. Kipper is now a coach for the Portland Seadogs, a minor-league affiliate of the Boston Red Sox.

Never has a player’s appearance on a baseball card so literally represented the team for which they played. Two interesting facts from Wikipedia:

1) Mr. Romo served as the set-up man for Kent Tekulve on the 1979 World Champion Pirates.
2) In 1983, Mr. Romo failed to report to spring training. The Pirates attempted to locate him, but failed, and he was released. His whereabouts remained unknown until a few years ago, when he appeared publicly with his brother in Mexico (at his induction into the Mexican Baseball Hall of Fame).

Another one from 1984 Donruss, Mr. McLaughlin was a fairly effective relief pitcher whose best season was 1981, when he posted 10 saves and a 140 ERA+ for Toronto.

Apparently, Mr. Clary now works with the Global Youth Baseball Federation, a non-profit Christian baseball organization. In 2002, he and other former players traveled to Cuba to play baseball and “share the gospel.”

Apparently, Mr. Harris was a switch-pitcher! From Baseball Library:

Harris’ unusual ability to pitch with both hands led to some tension between him and the Red Sox, who forbade the ambidextrous hurler from throwing lefty. GM Lou Gorman insisted it would “make a mockery” of the game, leading Harris to grumble, “Boston is so conservative. People are afraid to try anything.” In a muted show of defiance, Harris usually chose to wear an ambidextrous glove on the mound.

But just before his retirement, while pitching for the Expos in 1995, the veteran hurler finally became the only twentieth-century pitcher to throw from both sides of the mound. After Harris (pitching righty) retired Reggie Sanders to start off the ninth inning of a game against the Cincinnati Reds on September 28, 1995, he turned around to face the left-handed Hal Morris.

Harris issued a free pass, thus becoming the first ambidextrous major-league pitcher since Elton “Ice Box” Chamberlain of the American Association in 1888. Nerve-wracked, he stayed a southpaw and induced a ground-out from Eddie Taubensee, closing out the inning by retiring Bret Boone as a righty. The last pitcher to use both hands in a pro game had been Bert Campaneris, who did so in 1962 while playing for Daytona Beach in the Florida State League.

Pretty awesome stuff. Hopefully we’ll see something similar from Yankees farmhand Pat Venditte in the not-too-distant future.

Mr. Weiss played only 22 games in his MLB career, all with the Dodgers.

Mr. Tunnell was arrested in October of 2009 for allegedly soliciting an internet prostitute.

Anyway, here’s the nerdiest card from a hall-of-famer that I could find through a very quick google image search.
