and the topps back:

leary, who had lost 14 games in 1989 - a season which he split between the dodgers and the reds - went on to lose 19 games for the yankees in 1990. in 8 of his losses, however, leary allowed 3 earned runs or less while pitching more than 6 innings in 7 of those games. it wasn't all bad for leary in 1990, as he did throw a 4-hit shutout (at the metrodome of all places) in a game in which he also struck out a season high 11 batters.

voici à vous, 1990 tim leary!
