What a card: This is the fifth rookie card in the Traded set. Pat Clements appeared in 41 games in relief for the Angels in 1985 and then was traded to the Pirates in August of that year, making his Traded card outdated almost immediately.
My observation on the front: Another wonderful photo taken in old Tiger Stadium.
More opinion from me: There's something cool about this being the only set where you can get a card of Clements as an Angel. The Traded set still felt a little exclusive in 1985.
Something you might know: Clements was a well-traveled relief pitcher who competed for the Angels, Pirates, Yankees, Padres and Orioles during an eight-year span.
Something you might not know: Among the notable players that joined Clements in his many trade travels were George Hendrick, John Candelaria, Al Holland, Rick Rhoden, Doug Drabek, Jack Clark and Lance McCullers.
My observation on the back: That is a very Mets trivia question.
The blog wants to speak now: Working a double shift tomorrow. I'll skip the tab update this time.
