The Candy Man was an outstanding major
league pitcher for many years, winning 20 games and leading the league in ERA
in one season. And didn't you love those bright yellow uniforms? This is a 1981
Donruss card. Several more items showing off various incarnations of those
vintage Pirates unies (as well as the rest of John's
career) are shown below.

This is a list of the cards of this player
that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said
collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed
in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity
prior to my divestiture. The cards
listed in white text are the ones that still remained until that final
deal. Items listed in green I kept out
of the deal, just so I'd have something to display in my office and den. At the bottom and listed in orange text are
cards that I picked up after the dealing was done, in order to maintain a
certain continuity at this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the
top of the page, and maybe in the autographs and game-used areas. If an orange card is struck through, it has
also departed the collection. I am still
accepting donations, should you feel so moved.
