The front: Fun background with cars and a warehouse.
The back: Brusstar's 199 innings were 12 more than the second place pitcher, Rick Sutcliffe.
The player: Brusstar's career was a good example of the volatility of middle relievers. He had some excellent seasons, such as 1978 (the year he allowed 0 HR), 1981 and 1983, but most of the other seasons he was mediocre. Overall in 340 games over 9 seasons, mostly for the Phillies and Cubs, Brusstar went 28-16 with 14 saves and a 3.51 ERA.
The man: After his playing career Brusstar had a long coaching career, but is now retired. He also works with the Tug McGraw Foundation, where his wife Jennifer Brusstar is the CEO.
My collection: I have 15 of his cards, from 1978 to 1986. I would be interested in trading for 1978 SSPC #54.
