Found a nice image of former pitcher Steve Barber as a member of the California Angels,so I figured I'd re-do his 1974 card, replacing the original version which had him in an airbrushed Milwaukee Brewers uni, a team he never ended up playing for:
For those that have forgotten what the original looked like, here you go:
The former All-Star starter with the Baltimore Orioles was at the tail-end of his career by 1973, appearing in 50 games for the Halos and picking up four saves with a 3.53 earned run average.
In
1974 he would actually play with the San Francisco Giants in what
turned out to be his last action on a Big League mound, going 0-1 with a
5.27 ERA over 13 games and 13.2 innings pitched.
His best years were as a Baltimore Oriole, with whom he came up with in
1960, and for whom he posted a 20-win season in 1963, three seasons of
sub-3.00 ERA, and leading the American League with eight shutouts in
1962.
Once he left Baltimore he became somewhat of a journeyman pitcher both as a starter and an arm out of the bullpen, pitching for the New York, Yankees, Seattle Pilots, Chicago Cubs, Atlanta Braves, California Angels and Giants.
He finished his career with a 121-106 record, with a 3.36 ERA, 21 shutouts, 14 saves and 1309 K’s over 466 games and 1999 innings.
