Last time was another big win for gum, 7-0. Will this be closer?
This is an interesting pair. Hostess has Denny in front of the outfield, with what looks like the whole Cardinals team lined up behind him. For the Topps card, it looks like the photographer had Denny move around a bit so he was in front of the dugout, but you can still see several Cardinals lined up on the right side of the photo.Denny put up some good seasons for some bad teams for the late-70s Cardinals and early-80s Indians. He finally pitched for a winning team with the Phillies in 1983 and won the Cy Young Award, going 19-6 with a 2.37 ERA. Overall in thirteen seasons he went 123-108 with a 3.59 ERA. After his playing career Denny was a coach for a while but now appears to be retired.

I'll go with gum for the fuller jersey/logo and the red long sleeves.
ReplyDeleteboth backgrounds are good, but I like the cake better
ReplyDeleteGoing with cake, Denny is off-center on the Topps card and it kind of bugs me.
