I might be optimistic, but I’m calling it: 3-4 more 15-win seasons and another Cy Young in the tank. He’s healthy and pitching smarter, not just harder, than he did in his 20s.

I’m a little disappointed the rough shape this card is in.

Sid Was born and raised in Hawaii-that’s why he wore #50 (for state #50)

Sid was one of the hardest pitchers to hit in the history of MLB. His opponents batting avg against him was just .209. Only behind Nolan Ryan and Sandy Koufax

The Dodgers traded El Sid to the Mets in 1983 because he left winter ball early. And the reason why he left is was because he was homesick, not the arm injury that the Dodgers claimed.

26 year career (‘63-‘89) with 288 wins

Had more wins (164 wins) after surgery in 1974 including three 20 win seasons.

The torn UCL (Ulner Collateral Ligament) injury used to be career ending, but TJ was the first to have a successful surgery.

Was recruited to play hoops for University of Kentucky out of HS.

He pitch repertoire included a sinker, faster, and curveball
