and the topps back:

schatzeder had won a career high 11 games for detroit in 1980 with 9 complete games and 2 shutouts.  in 1981 however, his era ballooned to over 6.00 and he became expendable.  sent to the giants in exchange for larry herndon, schatzeder lasted just half the season in san fran before he was purchased by his old team, the expos.  after 4 seasons in montreal, schatzeder began the journeyman stage of his career with stops in philadelphia, minnesota, cleveland, back to minnesota, houston, new york (queens), and houston.  along the way he managed to win a world series ring with the twins in 1987 after pitching 4.1 scoreless innings against the tigers in the alcs.

here's the topps front:

now the o-pee-chee back:

and the topps back:

schatzeder was 10-5 with a 2.83 era for the expos in 1979.  he did fairly well for the tigers in 1980, going 11-13 with a 4.02 era with 9 complete games and 2 shutouts in 26 starts and over 192 innings pitched.  those turned out to be career highs, though, and schatzeder was on the move again midway through the 1981 season as he was transformed into a reliever.  we'll see him again here at oh my o-pee-chee!

voici à vous, 1980 dan schatzeder!
