GIMMIE A DO-OVER- 1978 RON SCHUELER

I came across this great image of former pitcher Ron Schueler suited up with the Minnesota Twins and figured it’d make a nice re-do of his 1978 card, which originally had him airbrushed into a Chicago White Sox:

And for those who don’t remember the original, here you go:

Schueler had a nice season for the Twins in his lone year there, going 8-7 in 1977 with an earned run average of 4.41 over 52 appearances, seven of them starts, with three saves in 134.2 innings of work.
He’d go on to Chicago where he ended pitching the last two seasons of his eight-year Big League career, going a combined 3-6 over 38 games and 101.1 innings pitched.
Playing for the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies between 1972 and 1976 before heading to the American League, Schueler was used primarily as a starter, and would finish his career with a record of 40-48 over 291 appearances, with two shutouts, 11 saves and an ERA of 4.08, pitching 912.2 innings.
