If you didn’t get enough Joe Nolan from our previous post, check him out again, in what is quite possibly the silliest-looking base running celebration of all time:

Thanks to Dr. Nerd for remembering Mr. Nolan from his days of working for the Orioles.

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.
