#149 Ken Howell



Why this card is awesome: Because while I have no idea whether Howell is religious, it's nice that Topps put a shot of what looks like a church in the background.

Cool stat: Howell was actually a better pitcher than most people remember. Check out his 1989. In fact, in the last 20 years, here are the lowest seasonal hit totals by a pitcher who pitched at least 200 innings. Howell's in there right alongside Nolan Ryan, Roger Clemens, Randy Johnson, Greg Maddux, Pedro Martinez, etc.
