While Mr. Young does not appear to be very nerdy, I am posting his card in order to raise the bar for the “distorted faces” tag.  I challenge anyone to show me a baseball card that can top Mr. Young in that category.  Also, it looks like he’s imitating the “Handy Man” character from In Living Color.

On April 12, 1992, Mr. Young threw an unofficial no hitter.  He allowed two runs on seven walks and an error, becoming the fourth pitcher to throw a no-hitter in a losing effort.  Since his team was on the road, he pitched a complete 8 inning game, which does not qualify as a “true no hitter.”

Another example of Fleer just not giving a shit.

Mendoza as in "The Mendoza Line" fame...a career .245 OBP and .262 slugging pct.

Mendoza as in "The Mendoza Line" fame...You see that look on his face? Either he just got look at his own batting stats (a career .245 OBP and .262 slugging pct), or someone just farted.

The only way the quality of the 1982 Fleer set makes sense is if they somehow got in a time machine and commissioned my high school basic photography class to take their photos. Even then, I’m pretty sure Mr. Carter gave us the f-stop and framing lessons within the first week. Take away the red border and this shabby baseball card becomes a post-modern work of art…The white of Mr. Mendoza’s jersey fading seamlessly into the bright white of the sky illustrating the fine line between existence and nothingness…OK, no more drinking on weeknights…
