1985 Topps Appreciation:  It's funny how a 12-year-old brain processes a fairly significant baseball trade.  Back on December 11, 1985, when the Phillies traded former Cy Young winner John Denny (along with Jeff Gray) to the Cincinnati Reds for Tom Hume and Gary Redus, my honest to goodness first thought was, "Well, Denny is going to have to shave his mustache."  The Reds had a no facial hair rule at the time and I remember trying to picture Denny without his mustache.

Denny pitched in his final season with the 1986 Reds, going 11-10 with a 4.20 ERA over 27 starts.  Hume stuck around with the Phillies for a season and a half before getting released in August 1987 and ending up back in Cincinnati.  Redus was only around for a season (90 games in left field, hitting .247 with 11 home runs) before being traded to the White Sox in the deal that began the short-lived and tragic Joe Cowley era for the Phillies.
