If you’re new to the site, click here to see our previous post about Mr. Hume.

Mr. Hume had 4-5 great seasons as a relief pitcher for the Reds and Phillies.  Along with Rollie Fingers, he was the 1980 co-winner of the Sporting News “Fireman of the Year” award.

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.
