What a card: Bill Caudill went to the Blue Jays in a trade with the Oakland A's on Dec. 8, 1984. Looking to beef up their bullpen, the Blue Jays sent outfielder Dave Collins and shortstop Alfredo Griffin to the A's for Caudill.
How'd that go: Caudill appeared in 68 games for the Blue Jays, but lost his closing job to Tom Henke early in the '85 season. Caudill didn't even receive an appearance in the 7-game 1985 ALCS against the Royals. It was his best shot at pitching in the postseason.
Backatya: With the addition of two Florida teams, there are now eight states with at least two Major League Baseball teams.
Back-to-back: Unless you look closely, the Blue Jays' Caudill appears to be pitching on one leg.
The original card is No. 685 in the set and was blogged on July 27, 2017.
