1981 Topps Steve Renko

The front: The exposed wiring looks like the Yankee Stadium dugout.

The back: Seven years with the Expos, then four teams in five years.

The player: Renko was basically the definition of an average starting pitcher. In 15 years he went 134-146 with a 3.99 ERA.  His best season was 1973, when he went 15-11 with a 2.81 ERA.

The man: Renko played football at Kansas with Gale Sayers. He coached for many years after his playing career and is now retired.

My collection: I have 19 of his cards, from 1970 through 1984. I would be interested in trading for 1971 Topps #209, 1972 Topps #307 and 1973 Topps #623.
