What a card: Dennis Lamp was in the middle of his best season in the big leagues when this card came out. In his second season with the Blue Jays, he went 11-0 while pitching all but one of his 53 games in relief.
My observation on the front: At this point it was strange to see Lamp with any other team than the Chicago squads. His first seven years were with the Cubs and White Sox.
More opinion from me: Lamp has some great-looking cards and it's all about that most-impressive mustache. His first few cards are goofy, a combination of glasses and a still fledgling stache. Then, bam, the 1982 Topps card hit the streets.
Something you might know: Lamp gave up Lou Brock's 3,000th career hit on Aug. 13, 1979. Brock's hit deflected off Lamp's hand and he had to leave the game.
Something you might not know: As of 2011, Lamp was working at a fish market in Newport Beach, Calif. Here's a photo of him behind the counter.
My observation on the back: The AL April home run mark is now held by Alex Rodriguez, who hit 14 for the Yankees in 2007.
The blog wants to speak now: The Movies category is updated.
You got me on the fish market redirect. Happy belated April Fools Day!
