#13T - Ray Burris


What a card: Ray Burris arrived in Milwaukee after being traded by the Oakland A's in a deal for pitcher Don Sutton on Dec. 9, 1984.

How'd that go?: Burris, who enjoyed his finest season in years with the A's in 1984, fell back to earth with the Brewers, posting a 4.81 ERA in 28 starts. He was released by Milwaukee before the 1986 season.


Backatya: Ray Burris' granddaughter, the daughter of his son Damon, recently celebrated her first birthday.


Back-to-back:
The original card is No. 758, blogged not long ago on Feb. 23, 2018.

In this case, the traded card edges the original slightly because I know that Burris' Brewers card was taken at exactly 1:03 p.m.
