He pitched in the post-season from 1976 - 1978 with the Yankees. His record was 0-4 in seven starts.
Another AL-only player, I saw him play a lot less than I saw NL guys. So, I was surprised on the card to see his career record of 80-67. He did that in only eight years including one 20-win season.
He was the Yankees winningest pitcher from 1976 - 1978 and he was the first Puerto Rican pitcher to win 20 games in a season. His MLB career was shortened due to elbow surgery though he did pitch in Mexico after recovering.
Not on the card - he pitched in the minors from 1966 - 1975 and from 1981 - 1982. He spent time with the US Marines in Vietnam.
