1966 Topps #243
Paid $1.30
The red and yellow color scheme goes brilliantly with the Cardinals.
Love the cartoon here and the info, "Watch him baffle the hitters this year."
I don't know if the Cardinals hitters just failed to support him, his ERA was 3.21, but Nellie finished 1966 with a poor 4-15 record. He'd turn it around the following year reversing the win loss numbers, 14-5, and lowing his ERA to 2.43. He'd also go on to win Game 3 of the World Series against the Red Sox. He would pick up a second win and another ring as a member of the Pirates in 1971.
