Bob Stoddard Kansas City Royals 1987
Bob Stoddard was a right-handed pitcher who came up with the Seattle Mariners back in the days when that organization was run by incompetents. Bob wasn't blessed with great speed or stuff, so he studied hard, kept books on enemy hitters, and tried to work to their weaknesses. If you don't have a super arm that can work for a while. Bob pitched decently for some pretty awful Mariners squads (1981-1983), but he stopped fooling the hitters after that and bounced from team to team as the last man on the staff. Bob's last season came with the Royals in 1987. There is one pretty good black and white shot of him with KC, and now Topps Vault has provided us with two good color shots of Bob.
