The front: Looks like a windy day, as both Camp’s hair and
the palm trees behind him appear to be blowing in the wind.
The back: West Georgia College became the University of West
Georgia in the 1990s.
The player: Camp was the Braves’ closer in 1980 and 1981,
and pitched in their rotation from 1982 to 1984, but is best known for his 18th-inning
grand slam against the Mets in 1985, his last big league season.
The man: In 2005 Camp was sentenced to three years in prison
after he and four others, including a former Georgia State Representative, were
convicted of attempting to steal over $2 million from a community mental health
center. Camp died of natural causes in 2013.
My collection: I have 21 of his cards, from 1977 to 1986. I
would be interested in trading for 1983 Fleer Star Stickers #82.
