Not to be confused with Joe Don Baker, Mary Elizabeth Mastrontonio or other three name celebrities, journeyman pitcher Gleaton has an impressive Nerd Baseball pedigree. In 1980, he was involved in trade that included fellow nerds Rick Auerbach and Mario Mendoza. He was drafted in the first round by the Texas Rangers in 1979.

Possibly the biggest disparity between a too loose jersey and too tight pants in nerd history. Also, the first ambidextrous nerd. Mr. Dayley has since founded The Fauxcademy of Decorative Finishing.

When I was growing up and living with my parents, I stored all of my baseball cards in a closet in the TV room. Recently, my parents began renovating this room and had to empty out the closets. Upon doing so, my Mom made it clear to me that I had to store my baseball cards in my own house. This has resulted in tens of thousands of (mostly worthless) baseball cards sitting in boxes in my sunroom.
I was flipping through some of the cards the other day and found Mr. Barber, one of many 1992 Topps Draft Pick cards that features really awkward photos straight out of school picture day. Barber was selected in the first round (22nd overall) in the 1991 draft by the St. Louis Cardinals. From 1995-99, he got into 26 games for the Cardinals and Royals, going 5-8 with a 6.77 ERA.

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.

If you check out a player’s baseball-reference.com page, you can usually find something interesting to talk about. Some weird statistical trend, an unexpected performance, a top-ten stats category you didnt know existed…unfortunately, here’s the best I’ve got for Mr. Quinones: In 1989, Mr. Quinones was 3rd in the National League in sacrifice flies (with 8).
While many baseball nerds have the “hat placement” tag bestowed upon them, Mr. Quinones is the first to receive the coveted “helmet placement” tag.

An untapped resource for nerds–nerd managers. Why is he wearing a mesh cap? He’ll be killed on talk radio for that decision…
