Cool concept. I'd have to add the '84 Donruss Ron Kittle, there are a lot of these though. Chris Sabo cards too, LOL. | ||
Two words: Rance Mulliniks And while we're at it, a more famous Blue Jay nerd would be Tom Henke. | ||
Adding Rance and Tom Henke. Yeah, Henke was a geek. Hehe | ||
Scott Sharts needs to go on the funny name list that was out a few weeks ago. | ||
Sharts has definitely been added I believe. | ||
no Eric Sogard? I can't believe it! | ||
HaHaHa - Billy Beane! Made me laugh more than all the guys who look like accountants... | ||
One suggestion: 2014 Topps Update Freddie Freeman! Not The guy you might think should be on here, but this picture makes him look like a nerd for sure! | ||
Jdogg1228, Added that Freeman. It does make him look nerdy. | ||
1988 Donruss' Best Greg Gagne, is more of the creepy stalker nerd IMO. | ||
Dave Collins (Baseball) & Al Arbour (Hockey) are white and nerdy ... and why not throw in Weird Al too? | ||
Great suggestions. I had forgotten about Dave Collins. I'm adding those suggestions. Thanks! | ||
Can't leave this nerd off: | ||
@Hawthorne61 ... HAHAHA 🤣😂🤣 😂 Cabbage is definitely nerd nimbus! P R O T O T Y P E Geekster! Hahaha. I'm adding him. Thanks for pointing him out. | ||
Joey McLaughlin has a lot of options, but the practice jersey over the warmup jacket is a clincher - 1983 Fleer #434 Joey McLaughlin | Trading Card Database (tcdb.com) | ||
Greg Maddux 1996 Topps Gallery | ||
Good ones. Thanks guys. I've added both the 96 Topps Gallery Maddux and a card issue of McLaughlin when he was wearing a pair of glasses so thick he could literally see the future. | ||
Can a pose be nerdy? 1992 Classic Best Frederick Keys #3 David Paveloff | Trading Card Database (tcdb.com) It may not be photographic evidence, but if your card includes your SAT Score, you're a nerd. 2014 Topps Chrome #215 Caraun Reid | Trading Card Database (tcdb.com)

I always thought his 1953 card was "nerdy" looking. https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/29/cid/6086/1953-Topps-169-Dizzy-Trout | ||
Those are great additions. I've put all 3 cards up. The last one (Dizzy Trout) is pretty funny. I left a witty caption for that card as well. | ||
That Maddux card is relatable to me on a spiritual level. | ||
Craig Kusick's rookie card strikes a fascinating balance between nerd and somebody's dad playing beer league softball https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/76/cid/18795/1975-Topps-297-Craig-Kusick Might not work for this list but could be part of a great list of "athletes who do not look like athletes". Here's some gems of that sort: https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/65779/cid/4346582/1979-Minnesota-Twins-Postcards-NNO-Craig-Kusick https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/81/cid/21723/1979-Topps-472-Craig-Kusick Apparently, a lot of nerds played for the Twins in the 70s and 80s. He's got a bit more of a subtle nerd look, but I would humbly ask you to consider Roger Erickson, who always looks a little bit like a high-schooler talking to his girlfriend's dad for the first time. https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/82/cid/31856/1980-Topps-256-Roger-Erickson | ||
Twinswin... Hahahaha You're cracking me up man. I added those you mentioned. Yes I think the Twins had a lot of nerdy guys back in the 70's and 80's. |
