1988 Topps American Baseball #2 Steve Bedrosian

This card is part of an 88-card box set produced by Topps in 1988 for distribution to the U.K. It was also part of the shipment of Phillies cards I recently received from Dinged Corners.

1987 was Steve Bedrosian's career year. He saved 40 games for the Phils, pitched to a 2.83 ERA and was named the NL Cy Young and Rolaids Relief Man. Steve was originally acquired from the Braves in December 1985 (with Milt Thompson) and he departed the Phils in June 1989 via a trade to the San Francisco Giants.

Bedrock was my favorite closer until Lidge came to town

I am glad your favorite closer wasn't Wayne Gomes. What about Ricky Bottalico?

Bottalico is John Clark like...

I happen to like Ricky Bottalico's work as a Comcast analyst . . . Perhaps he merits a future posting.
