Been a while since I re-did one of the 1977 Seattle Mariner or Toronto Blue Jay cards, so today on the blog I post up a "re-do" for starter Diego Segui, who started the first game in Mariner history, as well as the first game in Seattle Pilots history back in 1969:

Segui closed out a decent 14-year career in 1977 with the expansion
Seattle Mariners, appearing in 40 games for the new franchise, going 0-7
with a 5.69 earned run average.
He’d post a 92-111 lifetime record with a 3.81 ERA and 71 saves between 1962 and 1977, even winning the ERA crown in the American League when he finished with a 2.56 mark splitting time as a starter and an arm out of the ‘pen.
Look
for Segui as the subject for an upcoming 1978 "Highlights" card
celebrating the first game in Mariner history coming up in the next few
weeks!
