Wood vs. Wood #326

Last time it was a 5-2 win for 1962. Who will win here?

Tom Parsons looks like he has a long neck in this photo. He actually was one of the tallest major leaguers of his time, at 6-7 (lol). Mets announcer Bob Murphy would call him "Long Tom Parsons". Parsons made his debut with the Pirates in 1963, pitching in one game. He ended up with the Mets for four games in 1964 and 35 in 1965. Overall he went 2-13 with one save and a 4.72 ERA. He stayed in pro ball through 1969 but did not pitch again in the minors. Parsons seems to have kept a low profile during his baseball career. He currently lives in Florida and is a regular TTM signer.

Mark Gubicza delivers a pitch in spring training. Gubicza pitched fourteen seasons in the major leagues, thirteen of them with the Royals. A two-time all-star, he won 132 career games, including 20 in 1988, and had a 3.96 ERA. He is now an announcer for the Angels. He shared his favorite cards with this blog in 2018.
