1985 Topps Appreciation: I'll be looking back at Phillies-related cards from the 1985 Topps set throughout the season in these game summary posts. First up are two players that didn't spend much time at all with the Phillies.
Mike Easler spent two seasons in Boston in 1984 and 1985 as the team's primary designated hitter. He came to the Phillies in December 1986 in the deal that sent Charles Hudson to the Bronx. Almost exactly six months later, Easler was shipped back to the Yankees where he'd finish up the year and his career.
The best years of Bill Campbell's career were spent in Boston between 1977 and 1981. An All-Star in 1977, Campbell was the American League's leading fireman with 31 saves. He spent the 1984 season with the Phillies (6-5, 3.43 ERA) and was traded to the Cardinals in April 1985. He'd go on to appear in three games in the 1985 World Series with the Cardinals. I took a look a Campbell's 1979 Topps card three years ago in this series preview post.
