What a card: Bruce Sutter signed as a free agent with the Braves on Dec. 7, 1984, cashing his chips after setting the National League record (and tying the overall record) for saves in a season with 45 with the Cardinals.
How'd that go: Sutter started off OK for the Braves in '85 but the team was far from the Cardinals at that time and he managed just half of the save total he had in St. Louis with 23 and the ERA ballooned to 4. After that injuries took their toll and Sutter was never the same as he was with the Cubs and Cardinals.
Backatya: Pretty impressive that Sutter never pitched in fewer than 48 games in a season up to this point.
Back-to-back: The Sutter Traded card is the fourth card of Sutter in Topps' flagship and Traded sets. The Braves Sutter card stands out, not only because of the different uniform but because the other three are remarkably similar.
The flagship Sutter is No. 370 in the set and was originally blogged on Jan. 19, 2015.
