What a card: Tim Stoddard signed as a free agent with the Padres on Jan. 8, 1985, three months after he played on the Cubs team that lost to the Padres in the NLCS.
How'd that go: Not tremendous. The man with 76 career saves managed just one save in 1.5 seasons with the Padres and was shipped to the Yankees for Ed Whitson in the middle of the 1986 season.
Backatya: A 6-foot-7 pitcher was pretty freakish in the days before Randy Johnson, Jon Rauch and the like.
Back-to-back: The Traded card is quite an improvement on Stoddard's odd flagship card, which is No. 693 in the set and was originally blogged on Aug. 18, 2017.
The blog wants to speak now: The Other Cards category is updated.
The Cubs beat the Padres?
