now the o-pee-chee back:

and the topps back:

although vande berg was 1-5 for the dodgers in '86, he appeared in 60 games and had an era of 3.41. his whip, however, was 1.63 so i am guessing the relievers who followed vande berg were pretty good about not letting inherited runners score. after the season, vande berg became a free agent and signed with the indians. steve yeager, meanwhile, retired as a mariner, instead of going out as a career dodger.
