The next "Super Veteran" in my "Then and Now" thread is former pitcher Stan Williams, aka "Big Daddy":
Williams was closing out a nice 14-year career in 1972, actually
appearing in three games for the Boston Red Sox, pitching only 4.1
innings.
He was just two years removed from an awesome season for the
Minnesota Twins in 1970 when he posted a 10-1 record with a sparkling
1.99 earned run average and 15 saves as a reliever, appearing in 68
games, all in relief.
Williams finished his career with a 109-94 record, with a 3.48 ERA,
11 shutouts and 1305 strikeouts over 482 games and 1764.1 innings of
work.
I love his final Topps card, which is in the 1972 set, that has a great night-shot with stadium lights in the background.
