While looking for a scan of a baseball card on Google images, I stumbled across a baseball card blog I have never witness before. Nerd Baseball. The guy even ponied up some cash for a domain name, so it’s not Blogspot or WordPress…it’s just nerdbaseball.com.
Featured are a number of nerdy-looking baseball players, mostly from the mid- to late-1980s card sets, with some humorous comments sprinkled throughout.
But that’s not all, there are also some scans of the blogger’s attempts at “Funny Cards.” You remember those, right? Back in the 1980s when Beckett was still reliable and people actually read the magazine and it wasn’t simply a big ad for different companies…they actually had real content, you know? They also had these reader-submitted “Funny Cards.” I remember doing a few, but never sent them in. One was Mickey Hatcher, using a 1981 Fleer card, and he was hatching out of an egg. Another was Dennis Cook, using an Upper Deck card…maybe 1990…and he had a frying pan instead of a baseball bat. Yeah, those were the days.
Anyway, check out nerdbaseball.com if you’ve never been there before. It’s an interesting journey, especially for nerds like me.
