Omar Vizquel: The Slick-fielding Shortstop Who Enjoyed Taking Home Movies, Too

Omar Vizquel has played 23 seasons in the Majors and is bidding this spring training to play a 24th with the Blue Jays. He was the premier fielding shortstop in the Big Leagues during his prime and has piled p 2,841 hits -- the stuff that could lead to a Hall of Fame entry. He started with the Mariners, was most well-known for days with the Indians and also played for the Giants, Rangers and White Sox.

But I bet you didn't know that Omar loved taking home movies. Just look at his 1993 Upper Deck card.

Tyler Houston: A Catcher Who Enjoyed Showing The Splitter

Tyler Houston played for six teams from 1996 to 2003, donning the unis of the Braves, Cubs, Indians, Brewers, Dodgers and Phillies. He was the second overall selection in the 1989 MLB June draft and ended up playing 700 games, hitting 63 home runs and finishing with a .265 batting average.

In this 1991 Classic Games card showing catcher Houston, it seems like he's enjoying displaying the splitter pitch.

DeShawn Warren: Next Time, Ask For An Action Shot

DeShawn Warren was drafted by the Angels in the second round of the 1992 MLB amateur draft. Unfortunately, he never made the Bigs, never making it past Class A.

That's too bad, because he was was featured on the 1995 Upper Deck Angels Top Prospect card. Maybe it was the sunglasses?

Steve Lyons: Living Up To His Nickname, Psycho

On a Monday night at Tiger Stadium in 1990, Steve Lyons beat out a bunt by diving into first base, then proceeded to drop his baseball pants to clean dirt from shirttail. Stunts like that earned Steve the nickname "Psycho." He played for the Red Sox during three different stints, plus donned the uniform of the White Sox, Braves and Expos from 1985 to 1993.

Steve later became a broadcaster, but was fired from several gigs for his offensive ethnic and religious quips. He was given diversity training when broadcasting with the Dodgers.

In this 1989 Fleer card, Steve wears a batting glove next to his heart with the nickname Psycho scrawled near the wrist. Just in case you forgot.

Mike Benjamin: At Least He Enjoyed His Baseball Cards

When the cliche creators came up with "weak-hitting shortstop" they had Mike Benjamin in mind. Mike played 13 seasons in the Majors, mostly with the Giants from 1989 to 2002. He also played Phillies, Red Sox and Pirates. He's an assistant coach at Arizona State.

Mike finished with a lifetime .229 average, which is perhaps why he looked forward to his having fun in his baseball cards, such as his 1991 Upper Deck card where he appears to be signing a baseball from someone who is handing him a baseball from behind the protective net behind home plate and the 1992 Upper Deck card where he's wearing an all-time New York Giants uni complete with era baseball glove.

Brady Anderson: Before He Built Muscles

Brady Anderson broke in with the Red Sox in 1988, played for the Orioles and ended his career with the Indians in 2002.

Brady was known for his buff physique and hitting a remarkable 50 home runs with the Orioles in 1996.

When you consider Brady's scrawny look in this 1991 Donruss card, it's hard to believe he actually hit 50 homers five years later let alone lift the six bats pictured in the card. It was the Steroid Era, after all.

Mickey Hatcher: Speak Softly and Carry a Big Glove

"Fun-loving" should be Mickey Hatcher's middle name. He broke into the Bigs with the Dodgers in 1979 and ended his career also with the Dodgers in 1990, with a six-year stint with the Twins.

Mickey had an incredible World Series in 1988 when he filled in for an injured Kirk Gibson, helping the Dodgers win the 1988 title. He's currently the Angels batting coach.

Mickey's sense of humor is on display in this 1991 Upper Deck card, as the "Big Glove" enjoyed some serious exposure.
