TTM Success - Brent Strom

I sent off a bunch of cards to Spring Training this year, but didn't have very good results.  A few cards did come in, such as this success from Astros pitching coach, Brent Strom.  I had this 1975 Topps for a while that I wanted to get done, mainly because of the airbrushing that Topps did.  The auto turned out ok, but had some smudging.

Strom (b. 1948) played in the majors from 1972 to 1973 and 1975 to 1977 for the Mets, Indians and Padres.  He had a career record of 22-39 with 278 strike outs and a 3.95 ERA.

He was the pitching coach for the Astros when they won the World Series last year.

I mailed to Strom on February 10 and got the card back on February 26, for a 16-day TAT.
