As a result, the fact that they don't show Dawley as having been with Tuscon in 1983 is of little value in answering the question "Was Dawley on Tuscon's roster at some point, but didn't appear in any games?". Topps back in 1985 was probably getting its data from The Sporting News Baseball Register, which would have included this sort of thing.MCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08283702499696500079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294594353096945.post-78211830828500511252017-03-01T15:39:06.484-05:002017-03-01T15:39:06.484-05:00Dawley was actually sent to Tucson.

He was set to be the starter against Edmonton on April 15th, but the Astros called him up and he got the win against the Expos instead.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06896780361855961353noreply@blogger.com
