Larry Gura Cubs 1985
Left handed pitcher Larry Gura began his career with the Cubs but had his finest years with the Kansas City Royals in the late 70s and early 80s. When that club was at its peak, Gura teamed with hard thrower Dennis Leonard to give the Royals as good a pair of left-right aces as you could find. But all good things come to an end, and after his performance declined the Royals cut Gura loose in 1985 to make way for younger pitchers. The Cubs were in the midst of a pitching crisis that year with their regular starters all hurt, so Larry got one last chance with his original club. Alas, it didn't work out, but here Gura is as an '85 Cub. The shot is of course from the Fritsch card collection on ebay.
