Happy Birthday - Bert Blyleven

Bert was born in 1951 so that would make him 66 today.  His cards seem more like commons than Hall of Famers.  When I used to find lots of Kellogg's in bulk his cards tended to be included, sometimes with duplicates.

Why?  His career record was only 287-250.  Baseball-reference.com shows his 162-game average record as 14-12.  That explains why he's not considered a star in card sets.  Doing that for 22 years is still impressive.



This card is on my list of those available to trade.
