What a card: Kent Tekulve parted with the Pirates when Pittsburgh traded him to Philadelphia for pitcher Al Holland and a minor leaguer on April 20, 1985.
How'd that go: Tekulve enjoyed four more years of successful relieving with the Phillies, although the save rate went way down.
Backatya: Tekulve completed his career with the Reds, which was his hometown team.
Back-to-back: Two Kent Tekulve cards back-to-back is a whole lot of fun.
I prefer the flagship card (No. 125 in the set and originally blogged on Dec. 17, 2012), but the traded one is cool, too. That's a nice look at old Veterans Stadium with the Marlboro sign in the distance.
The blog wants to speak now: Unfortunately, this blog will be taking a break for a little bit. I'm not sure how long. Could be a few days, could be a couple weeks. But we'll get back at it for the grand finish.
