A few weeks ago, we kicked off Nerd Baseball’s periodic “Funny” Cards feature with my incredibly literal take on Steve Trout. Now we have another attempt at humor by my 11-year-old self.
There are so many disturbing things about this particular “funny” card. Here they are, in no particular order (feel free to add your own in the comments):
- The fact that there are two Kenny Rogers, one who pitches and one who sings is probably the most obvious joke I could have made. It’s hard to overstate just how unfunny this is.
- For some reason, I drew a bass guitar. I don’t think Kenny Rogers was a bass guitarist. I don’t think he was an anything guitarist.
- I bothered to draw tuning pegs on the headstock of the guitar, but didn’t bother to have the guitar strings attach to the tuning pegs.
- I didn’t bother to look for a non-action shot card of Rogers to use, which could have produced a much more realistic guitar playing impression. Instead, I used this card, so it looks like he’s throwing the guitar, rather than playing it.
- Kenny Rogers was playing major league baseball in 1991. Didn’t he play last year?

Yikes.
