Last time it was Topps in a close one, 6-4. How will this one go down?
Hostess has Montefusco at Candlestick Park, some advertising visible above him, not sure what they are selling. Looks like a red car in one of the ads. Topps has him in a spring training shot, his glove dominating the photo.John Montefusco won the NL Cy Young Award in 1975, going 15-9 with a 2.88 ERA. The following year he went 16-14 with a 2.84 ERA, leading the NL with 6.9 WAR. However, injuries hampered his effectiveness and he didn't live up to those first couple of outstanding seasons. In 298 games for four teams, he went 90-83 with a 3.54 ERA. In the late 1990s he spent two years in jail awaiting trial on domestic violence charges, of which he was acquitted on almost all counts. He spent a few years as a minor league pitching coach but appears to now be retired.

A nice slice of German chocolate cake for me please.
