Many moons ago here on the blog, I posted about the 1975 Topps set and how many of the St. Louis Cardinal players had hilarious airbrush jobs, including today's "do-over", pitcher Ray Sadecki.
Here's the original that I speak of:

Well let us re-do that card and show him with whom he suited up the prior season, the New York Mets:
Sadecki
had a nice season in 1974 for the Mets, going 8-8 over 34 appearances,
10 of those starts, pitching to a 3.41 ERA with a shutouts over 103
innings of work.
He put together a nice 18-year career on a big league mound, both as a starter and a reliever between 1960 and 1977.
He was a 20-game winner in 1964 with the St Louis Cardinals, and three-times posted an earned run average under 3.00, with a low of 2.78 in 1967 with the San Francisco Giants.
He retired with a 135-131 record, with a 3.78 ERA and 20 shutouts along with 1614 strikeouts and seven saves over the course of 563 appearances, 328 of which were starts.
