now the o-pee-chee back:

and the topps back:

after beginning his career with the angels as a starter, fraser had been converted to a middle reliever for the 1989 and 1990 seasons. the blue jays used him primarily in this role during his short tenure in toronto with fraser losing both of his decisions. of the 13 appearances he made for the jays in 1991, fraser started only once, allowing 6 runs and lasting just 3 innings against his former team.

the cardinals selected fraser off of waivers in june of 1991, and used him exclusively in a relief role. fraser responded positively to his first foray in the national league, winning 3 of his 6 decisions while allowing over a run less per 9 innings than he had with the blue jays.
