What a card: Jim Gott arrived with the Giants after a trade in January 1985 with the Blue Jays. The Giants got Gott (heh) and two minor leaguers in exchange for pitcher Gary Lavelle.
How'd that go: Gott's 1985 season was memorable in that it's really the only season in his 14-year career in which he could say he was a full-time starter. He started all 26 of his appearances, pitching in 148-plus innings with a 3.88 ERA.
Backatya: Clenice (who is now Gott's ex-wife) played on a softball team when Gott was pitching for the Blue Jays. Her father was a minor league pitcher.
Back-to-back: The Traded card is the set's first look at the Giants' distinctive pumpkin softball tops. We won't have to wait long to see them again.
The flagship card is No. 311 and was blogged on July 18, 2014.
