Did anyone else read “Highlights” magazine when they were a little kid? One of monthly features was a “hidden pictures” page, or a “spot the differences” page, where they would show you two pictures that were almost exactly the same…but with several slight differences. These usually included someone’s eyes looking in the opposite direction, or having a button missing from their shirt.
Anyway, all these years later, fate intervened and put these two cards one on top of the other in the Nerd Archive.


Dale Mohorcic

Considering the man in this picture is just wearing a Yankees t-shit, I thought that maybe someone bumped into the photographer, resulting in a casual fan appearing in Mr. Mohorcic’s place. This, however, is not the case. Two amazing stories about Mr. Mohorcic from Wikipedia (though neither explain the t-shirt wearing):
1) In a 1987 game against the Milwaukee Brewers, Mohorcic was accused of doctoring the baseball. Umpires found no evidence of wrongdoing at the time, but after the game Mohorcic complained of a sore throat, and was admitted to a hospital where it was discovered that he was suffering internal bleeding as a result of having Crohn’s disease and taking the pain reliever naproxen. It was erroneously reported by Peter Gammons that Mohorcic’s bleeding was caused by swallowing sandpaper.
2) Mohorcic played the part of Angels starting pitcher Dave Spiewak in the 1988 movie The Naked Gun.

Mr. Breining appeared to be in the middle of a decent career as a relief pitcher, when, according to Wikipedia, he blew out his shoulder throwing the ball to first base on a bunt attempt. The Expos lost an arm out of the bullpen, but future generations lost a career that promised to be chock-full-of-nerd cards.

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.








Mr. Armstrong was the winning pitcher in the Yankees vs. Royals “pine tar game.”
