Thought
it'd be fun to give former pitcher Rudy May a "do-over" on his 1970
card, so here you go, using a much better image of him during his time
as a California Angel:

May made his Major League
debut in 1965 as a 20-year-old, appearing in 30 games and tossing 124
innings, certainly good enough for a card in the 1966 set.
He posted a record of 4-9 with a 3.92 earned run average, striking out 76 batters while throwing a shutout.
All told, he posted a 152-159 career record, with a 3.46 earned run
average, 24 shutouts, 12 saves and 1760 strikeouts between 1965 and
1983.
His finest year was easily 1980, when he led the American League in
E.R.A. with a nice 2.46 mark, WHIP at 1.044 and strikeouts-to-walks
with a 3.41 number as a member of the New York Yankees.
