A couple weeks ago the Cardinals played the Mariners in a game featuring throwback unis. The Cards wore the away uniforms similar to those worn in 1977-78 and 1981-1984. For this Throwback Thursday I couldn't help but compare a couple of cats. First is a 2016 shot of Cardinals reliever
Tyler Lyons in his throwback uni.
The next is
Jim Kaat in his 25th and final MLB season. Although by 1983 the 44 year old lefty was relegated to bullpen duty, most of his games were as a starter. He had 180 career complete games and was a 20 game winner three times. Kaat was also a perennial Gold Glove winner on the mound. He won 16 in a row from 1962-1977 for the Twins, White Sox and Phillies. He also was a four time All Star and was named the AL pitcher of the year by the Sporting News. In 1982 he finally got a World Series ring as a member of the Cardinals.

Nice job! When I saw a thumbnail on a blogroll, I thought your custom was a real 1984!
ReplyDeleteYour coverage of the All Star game is great. The cards you made for the All Star starters form 1963 thru 1967 were excellent. Your rookie card coverage is also outstanding. Being the Twins fan I am, you responded to my request for a 1962 full sized card of Bernie Allen and Rich Rollins. Very much appreciated. Of course, I am not limited to just the Twins. Any full size rookie cards from 1962 thru 1967 would be appreciated as well. Never liked those multiple head shots on the rookie cards.
