#764 - Jamie Easterly


What a card: Jamie Easterly appeared in just 26 games in 1984, his lowest total since the 1979 season when he spent most of the year in the minors.

My observation on the front: Going with the hero shot with this photo is a bold move for a career 4.65 hurler.

More opinion from me: I first encountered Easterly on his 1978 Topps card. His career ERA was 5.59 on the back. A year later, on his 1979 Topps card, his career ERA was even worse. I never guessed then that Topps would still be making Jamie Easterly cards in 1985.

Something you might know: Easterly became a regular member of the Brewers' bullpen when they reached the postseason in 1981 and 1982.

Something you might not know: Easterly, while once trying a new training plan in the offseason, stepped into a gopher hole while running backward and hurt his back.


My observation on the back: On a really good day, Jamie watches golf and hunting on TV.
