Dateline St Louis - Phils & Cards work in some interdivision trading, swapping Rick Bosetti, Dane Iorg, and Tom Underwood for Steve Waterboy er - um - Waterbury and the Fulton Flash - 'Bake' McBride.

Arnold Ray McBride gets the regular Topps treatment as part of being pictured as a Phil in the '78 Set and wins a W.S. ring in 1980. Tom Underwood gets the Mad Magazine photoshopped job after going 6-9 across 17 starts for Vern Rapp's wunderkids in 1977. He then gets flipped to Toronto at year end in a deal that included the incomparable Clu Haywood - Pete Vuckovich. Poof and just like that - he was gone. How should Cards fans remember the Tom Underwood era?

I've checked with the local paper in St Louis, and I've even contacted friends down in the office of the ballclub - Does a color photo of Mr Underwood exist anywhere in a Cards uni?

HELP!

P.S. We'll always have Mr Iorg's contributions in '82 but it's a push after his hit in the '85 series.
