In 1976 Mr. Collins became the first batter in Seattle Mariners history. He scored the first run in Mariners history, also.

The run on Vorpy’s ’92 Score set continues…What struck me when I saw Mr. Briley’s eye-wear for the first time was their similarity to Jon Lajoie’s “Rapist Glasses.” Mr. Briley is now a minor-league hitting coach in the Chicago White Sox organization.

Mr. Brown seems to be in competition with Scott Garrelts and Tom Hume for the title of “largest glasses in baseball history.”
Mr. Brown appears to have played part time for 5 seasons (never more than 358 AB’s in a season). Considering he put up average to above-average OPS+ numbers in part time work, I don’t know why he didn’t have a longer career as a 4th outfielder.

Sticking with 1984 Donruss, here’s Jerry Hairston (Sr.), father of current major leaguers Jerry Hairston, Jr. and Scott Hairston, both of the San Diego Padres. Hairston’s brother, John Hairston, played in 3 games for the Chicago Cubs in 1969, and Hairston’s father, Sam Hairston, got into four games as a 31 year old rookie for the Chicago White Sox in 1951. Sam Hairston’s career batting line (7 plate appearances): .400/.571./.600 (220 OPS+).
Do the Hairstons hold the title for most family members to play in the major leagues? The Alou family was much more accomplished, but there were only 4 of them. Ditto for the Boone family.

I like this card for two reasons:
- It’s the first card to be featured on Nerd Baseball from the 1984 Donruss set, which is my all-time favorite modern baseball card set (I’m currently working on assembling a high grade ’84 Donruss set); and
- The card is really nerdy.
Also, my apologies for the lapse in posting; expect new nerd cards twice weekly in the coming months. I hope everyone is enjoying the first week of the baseball season.
