1988 Domino's Darryl Patterson

 

A very simple photo of Patterson.

Daryl Patterson came up with the Tigers in '68 and was a very good reliever for the team. In 38 games he went 2-3 with 7 saves and a 2.12 ERA. He also pitched three scoreless innings in two World Series games. He was never nearly that good again, bouncing around with the Tigers and three other teams. The most notable event for the rest of his career was in 1974, his last major league season, when as a member of the Pirates he was bitten by the Reds' Pedro Borbon in a brawl, requiring Patterson to get a tetanus shot. Overall in 142 games, Patterson went 11-9 with 11 saves and a 4.09 ERA. After his playing career he was an inspector for Pacific Gas & Electric. He died in 2025.

I have five of his cards, from 1968 to 1971. I would be interested in trading for 1971 Dell Today's Team Stamps #NNO
