Why This Card Matters

Jay Howell was Oakland's closer in the mid-1980s, and the back of this card lays out the run: the A's lone All-Star selection in 1985, when he ranked fourth in the American League in saves, then the club lead in saves again in 1986 despite an elbow injury that cost him much of the year. He carried 68 career saves and a 4.17 ERA over 434 innings into 1988. He had arrived from the Yankees in the December 1984 trade that sent Rickey Henderson to New York.
