Mr. Davis broke a New York Yankees record by striking out eight consecutive batters in a single relief appearance. He also co-owns the record for most blown saves in a single season, with 14. He actually had 5 seasons throughout his career (’79, ’80, ’81, ’83, ’85) that I wouuld categorize between “good” and “great.” In two of these he actually averaged over 10 K’s per 9 innings. For a nerd, this is the eqivalent of hall-of-fame level production.

It looks like his hat and jersey are painted on the card, like a close-up from an episode of Ren & Stimpy.
Is he being handcuffed?
I remember some 1986 Topps cards having the uniforms and hats painted on too. What’s the deal, Topps? Did you think it would look like a photo?
Worth noting:
1) His son, Ike, was drafted by the Mets in 2008, plays for Arizona State and definitely sleeps with hotter girls than any of us – http://is.gd/wIzd.
2) His wife, Kendall, is in a band called Groove Merchants. I presume that she is the one in red – http://www.groovemerchants.com.
