The front: Extreme close-up at what I believe is Tiger
Stadium.
The back: This is an error – the score of the game was 3-2,
not 3-1. Only one of the runs was earned, perhaps accounting for why Topps made
this error.
The player: Todd pitched parts of four seasons for the Mets
and Blue Jays. In 64 games (36 starts), he went 10-16 with a 4.40 ERA.
The man: Todd was a long-time minor-league and college
coach, and still does some youth coaching in his native Oklahoma.
My collection: I have six of his cards, from 1978 to 1982. I
would be interested in trading for 1982 TCMA Syracuse Chiefs #9.
He battled cancer and came back to pitch
