Playing career, in brief: John Montefusco won the NL Rookie of the Year 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.

My collection: I have 32 of his cards, from 1976 to 1986. I would be interested in trading for 1976 Hostess #41.
It was rookie of the year,not Cy Young.
