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.

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).

Hey all, sorry for the missing nerd this past Monday. Unfortunately, technical difficulties with the official nerd-scanner have provided a roadblock to expanding the nerd archive. Thankfully, there is a seemingly never-ending supply of Kent Tekulve cards available for posting. You can see our first Kent Tekulve post here. There are many more Tekulve cards in the archive. We may have to develop some sort of lifetime achievement award.
Happy “pitchers and catchers reporting” everyone.

Another deceptively young nerd…Mr. Robinson was only 29 when this picture was taken. Mr. Robinson’s nickname was, for some reason, “The Caveman,” and not “Mr. Kotter.” Mr. Robinson actually pitched for 14 seasons, and was considered one of the best hitting pitchers in the game. He had 13 career home runs, including a pinch-hit-home-run in 1990.

Mr. Fermin is a throwback to the days of NerdBaseball on MySpace. In 1996, Mr. Fermin was nearly traded to the Yankees for Mariano Rivera. After that same season, he ended his career with a total of four home runs in 2,767 at bats.
