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.

Mr. Gantner played baseball at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and had his uniform number retired there. In the majors, he once went 1,762 consecutive at-bats without hitting a home run.
