What a card: Don Sutton was dealt to the A's in a trade on Dec. 7, 1984. The Brewers sent Sutton to Oakland for pitcher Ray Burris and a player to be named, minor-leaguer Ed Myers.
How'd that go: In Sutton's only season for Oakland in 1985, he won in double figures (again) at 13-8 and pitched closed to 200 innings (again). He was traded to the Angels in September of that year.
Backatya: You can tell by Sutton's birthdate that he pitched for Oakland when he was 40. He did pretty well for himself in his early 40s.
Back-to-back: Two candid shots in what may or may not be the same ballpark.
The flagship card is No. 729 in the set and was originally blogged on Nov. 28, 2017.
