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.

Scott Sharts needs to go on the funny name list that was out a few weeks ago.

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!

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?

It may not be photographic evidence, but if your card includes your SAT Score, you're a nerd.

I always thought his 1953 card was "nerdy" looking.

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

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.
