1977 MARINERS REDO- STAN THOMAS

I haven’t done one of these in a while, but came across a nice photo of former Mariners pitcher Stan Thomas from Seattle’s inaugural 1977 season, so here’s a re-do of his 1977 Topps card, as well as the original as issued:

Re-done for the blog

Original Topps release

Thomas was drafted by Seattle away from the Cleveland Indians on November 5th of 1976 in the expansion draft after what was a pretty good year out of the bullpen when he went 4-4 with a 2.30 earned run average and six saves over 37 appearances and 105.2 innings pitched.
He would go on to make 13 appearances for the Mariners, going 2-6 with a 6.02 ERA before being sent to the New York Yankees, where he’d make only three appearances, going 1-0 with a 7.11 ERA in 6.1 innings.
Turns out that would be the last MLB action he’d see, closing out a four-year career with a record of 11-14 along with a 3.70 ERA and nine saves over 111 appearances and 265.1 innings.
