Trivia with Mike, Thursday @ 6:00.

The 1960s Yankees partied hard. The antics of Mickey Mantle, Wh**ey Ford and Billy Martin were well-documented. But buried deep in the Yankees archives is the story of another man whose contributions rarely appeared in the box score.

Trivia Mike.

Officially, Mike was listed on the roster as CL (Clubhouse Legend), a position Major League Baseball quietly discontinued after realizing nobody could adequately explain what it was.

Mike rarely played. In fact, there is considerable disagreement over whether he ever actually appeared in a game. But according to completely unreliable clubhouse accounts, Mike was invaluable for morale. He could tell you the capital of Uruguay, name every U.S. president in order, and somehow knew which Manhattan bars would continue serving Yankees players several hours after they had technically closed.

Mantle reportedly once said of Mike:

“Who?”

Collectors were therefore stunned when Flopps Baseball Cards included Trivia Mike in its legendary 1962 set.

The card showed Mike in pinstripes, wearing his Yankees cap slightly crooked and displaying the confident expression of a man who had absolutely no idea what inning it was.

On the back were his career statistics:

Games Played: 0
Home Runs: 0
RBI: 0
Correct Trivia Answers: 8,412
Clubhouse Beers: Statistical records incomplete
Times Asked to Leave: 37
Position: CLUBHOUSE LEGEND

For decades, the Trivia Mike rookie card was considered one of the least desirable pieces of sports memorabilia ever manufactured.

In 1998, a panel of respected collectibles experts famously appraised a mint-condition copy at negative $1,000; meaning the owner would theoretically have to pay someone $1,000 just to accept it.

But recently, something remarkable happened.

The Trivia Mike market has exploded.

Thanks to renewed interest in obscure vintage baseball cards, the estimated value has skyrocketed from -$1,000 all the way to approximately -$250.

That represents an astonishing 75% improvement.

Today, collectors estimate that an owner would need to pay you only about $250 to take the card off their hands.

And yes, the deal really is that good.

You receive the Trivia Mike card AND $250.

There is, however, one condition:

You must sign a legally binding agreement promising that the previous owner will never, under any circumstances, be forced to look at the card again.

Experts are calling it one of the greatest comebacks in collecting history.

In 1976, television executives decided America wasn’t quite finished with the Brady family.

Their idea was simple: What if the Bradys had an uncle nobody ever talked about?

Enter Uncle Mike.

Mike was supposedly Carol’s cousin…or Mike Brady’s brother…or possibly just some guy Alice met at the liquor store. The writers changed his backstory twice during the pilot.

He arrived at the Brady house carrying one suitcase, a half-empty bottle of rum and the promise that he was staying “just until I get back on my feet.”

He never explained what had happened to his feet.

The show’s premise was that Uncle Mike would offer the Brady kids his own unconventional brand of wisdom.

When Greg had girl trouble, Mike told him, “There are plenty of fish in the sea.” Then he spent eleven minutes explaining which bars had the best happy hour.

When Marcia complained about school, Mike advised her to quit and “get into something with benefits.”

When Peter broke a lamp, Uncle Mike immediately blamed Jan.

Nobody had even told him what happened.

Episode 2: Mike Gets a Job

Mr. Brady gets Uncle Mike an interview at his architectural firm.

Mike arrives 45 minutes late wearing aviator sunglasses, a floral shirt and one of Mr. Brady’s ties.

He is somehow promoted.

This episode tested surprisingly well with middle-aged men.

Episode 3: Uncle Mike Babysits

Carol and Mike leave for a romantic evening and make the catastrophic decision to put Uncle Mike in charge.

By 8:30, Bobby is running a poker game in the garage, Peter is tending bar, Greg’s band is playing in the living room and Alice has called a cab for herself.

When the Bradys return home, Uncle Mike is asleep in Mr. Brady’s chair holding a plate of deviled eggs.

He opens one eye and says:

“Relax, Mike. The kids are fine.”

There are no children anywhere in the house.

NBC canceled the series the next morning.

The official explanation was “creative differences.”

Uncle Mike maintained for the rest of his life that the network simply “wasn’t ready for television that real.”

Today, all three episodes are believed lost—although rumor has it Trivia Mike shows unauthorized VHS copies every Thursday at 6 PM at The Beach Bar.

Nobody has ever seen one.
