Those are big glasses.

Just for conversation...What does everyone think about that card in that holder? What would it be in a PSA slab?

Here's the trifecta. Huge glasses, pipe and captain's hat.

That, among many, many other reasons, is why Charles Nelson Reilly was the man.

Damn Jeff!

What do you have stacks of cards lying around your place, each one with specific features?

Quick, let's see a couple of mullet/pornstache combos. (Randy Johnson doesn't count...too easy)

I have a renewed positive outlook on life now seeing that Rich Gedman, with his physical demeanor, was able to rise to the top of his profession.

Haha! Yeah, i was just thinking about Gedman. I honestly believe he may have looked even MORE like a total dork when he wasn't wearing glasses.

Has anyone actually witnessed Gedman play baseball? I think he may be an impostor who got tired of writing computer code.

I am pretty sure I saw it on the Pittsburgh Sports Channel where they talk to old Pirates players, but a former Pirate catcher said Joe Morgan was batting and one of the Pirates pitchers who had thick glasses and threw really hard (can't remember his name) was pitching. He got hot and his glasses fogged up so they called time and he took them off. The catcher got down and Morgan just stood out of the box. He asked him what he was waiting on and he said there is no way I am gonna get in the batters box till he has them glasses back on haha.

I've spent the last 30 min here at work trying to find an image of Robert DeNiro at the very end of Casino (best movie ever btw).

He has some awesome glasses in that scene.

I love the Paul Gibson card with the second baseman grabbing his junk in the background

Alfonz24 · January 30, 2009 7:13AM

I have heard stories about how hard and wild this pitcher was and had the thick glasses.

mikeschmidt · January 30, 2009 7:40AM

Girly glasses

PROMETHIUS88 · January 30, 2009 8:01AM

Poppa - Thanks! He needed his props in this thread.

rb -- These have to be some of the dumbest shades I have ever seen, but yet I find myself wondering where I can get a pair. Guss that says a lot about me!

Edited for being too stupid to get a copy of the golfer dude to post in my reply!

Could this possibly have been Bob Veale? That guy through bullets and definitely could be quite dangerous with a vision problem.

Nick, I measured Trout's eyewear against the OP's and those are definitely not glasses bigger.

bman90278 · January 31, 2009 12:27AM

I saw this one on another post way back. It's not bigger than the ones posted, but they probably were back then.

bman90278 · January 31, 2009 12:28AM

<< Oh man, what a freaking dork LOL >>

This one has some dorkiness to it...It's from a previous thread we had here.

CDsNuts · January 31, 2009 12:31AM

Nope, not glasses bigger.

Ryne Duren's nephew is Blackie Lawless from the band W.A.S.P. I don't think he has big glasses though.

Can you find glasses bigger????
