I decided it would be cool to create a poster containing cards of every Phillie from the decade of the '80s. These were the guys I remember growing up with - from the major stars (Schmidt, Carlton, Rose) to the complete unknowns (Adduci, Fireovid, Munninghoff). Of the 179 players to have donned a Phillies uniform during the decade, a lot of these guys never had a Phillies card.
Such was the case for Lerrin LaGrow. Lerrin played the last 25 games of his 10-year career with the Phillies in 1980. Signed as free agent in January 1980, he made the Phils' opening day roster as a right-handed middle reliever. On paper, his Phillies stats don't look that bad (0-2 with a 4.15 ERA), but the team released him in July. He appeared in the 1980 Topps set (#624) as a Dodger, but thanks to his picture from the 1980 Phillies Yearbook and an ambitious Phillies fan, he finally has a Phillies card.

I'll need all the help I can get (especially with info).
Thanks Jim.
