Mr. Ladd had a short career as a relief pitcher with the Houston Astros, Seattle Mariners, and Milwaukee Brewers. He had one memorable season – 1983, when he posted a 2.55 ERA (148 ERA+), 0.932 WHIP, and 25 saves in 44 appearances, taking over the closer role for the injured Rollie Fingers.

I like how the Mariners logo on the card is positioned directly over where the logo is on Mr. Ladd’s jersey.

    Man, separated at birth, Pete Ladd and 1980s Weird Al. Btw, check out the old school Bud sign in the background. I probably have this floating around in my ‘commons’ collection of cards.

    I’m pretty sure this guy bags groceries in New Haven. He’s pretty good at it, too. Great nerd. I’d say he could be a contender for top 5 if not for a few skeptics.
