What a card: Jim Clancy struggled through a rough 1984. The normally reliable Clancy won 13 games but posted a 5.12 earned-run average and allowed a league-high 125 earned runs.
My observation on the front: Clancy may or may not be gnawing on one of his fingers. Odd photo.
More opinion from me: I have a soft spot for 1977 Blue Jays.
Something you might know: Clancy was called up in midseason in Toronto's first season. He was the team's only double-figure winner in 1978 (10) and he pitched in the 1982 All-Star Game. But most people remember him now as the pitcher with the most losses in the 1980s -- 126.
Something you might not know: While with the Astros in 1989, Clancy started a game against the Reds, faced seven batters, didn't get any of them out and allowed seven runs. The Reds scored 14 runs on 16 hits in the first inning that game en route to an 18-2 victory.
My observation on the back: Matt Stairs broke Cliff Johnson's record (which was 20 at the end of his career). Stairs hit 23.
