What a card: Jay Howell arrived with the A's after being traded from the Yankees on Dec. 5, 1984 in the deal that brought Rickey Henderson to New York.
How'd that go: Howell achieved his first All-Star Game selection in 1985 when he saved a career-high 29 games for the A's that season.
Backatya: A physical education degree to me says you don't want to have anything to do with any job that doesn't involve sports.
Back-to-back: The Traded card can't compare with the flagship card, but I like how the background on the Traded card is color-coded with Howell's uniform. Just wish I could read some of the billboards.
The flagship card is No. 559 and was originally blogged on July 29, 2016.
The blog wants to speak now: The Other Cards category is updated.
Since you mentioned the billboards, I would wager money that that's a KDKB billboard behind him from a Cactus League game, and that it reads, "KDKB Rocks Arizona." KDKB was a rock behemoth back in the day (even appearing in the director's cut of Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous) that slowly ossified into a classic rock station and is now a generic alternative station.
