and the topps back:

1980 had been a big year for the astros as they made the nlcs for the first time. they lacked a left-handed starter, however, and so sent cabell to san francisco in order to get knepper. as a result, cabell missed out on houston's return to the postseason in 1981. he spent just one year with the giants before heading to detroit which was followed by a return to the astros. in 1985 he headed back to the nl west, where he would finish his career as a dodger. interestingly enough, cabell's final career home run was hit off of bob knepper.
