#99T - Vern Ruhle


What a card: After spending the most productive years of his career with the Astros, Ruhle signed with the Indians as a free agent on Dec. 22, 1984.

How'd that go: About the same as Ruhle's difficult 1984 season. Ruhle went 2-10 with a 4.32 ERA in 1985, his only year with the Indians and his last full season in the majors.


Backatya: I know we're not supposed to care about won-loss records anymore, but looking at that 1984 season makes me realize that Ruhle was 3-19 over the 1984 and 1985 seasons. Eesh.



Back-to-back: Ruhle is wearing two very 1980s uniform styles on each of these cards. Softball pullovers!

The flagship card is No. 426 in the set and was originally blogged on June 25, 2015.
