What a card: The Cubs acquired Brian Dayett from the Yankees in a six-player deal on Dec. 4, 1984. Dayett and pitcher Ray Fontenot were sent to Chicago in exchange for pitchers Porfi Altamirano and Rich Bordi, outfielder Henry Cotto and catcher Ron Hassey.
How'd that go: Dayett barely played for the Cubs, starting with just 22 games in 1985. The plan for him to become Chicago's eventual left fielder never materialized.
Backatya: St. Leo College is noted more for the pitchers it has sent to the majors, among them Bob Tewksbury, Frank DiPino and Jim Corsi.
Back-to-back: Dayett's flagship card is No. 534 in the set. It was blogged on May 17, 2016.
