#52T Jay Howell



Here's another card showing some scoreboard, like Matt Young's card.

IMPACT FACTOR 5/10: Howell, acquired in the same trade that saw Matt Young, Alfredo Griffin, Bob Welch, Kevin Tapani, and Wally Whitehurst switch teams, was a very effective reliever for the Dodgers for five seasons before leaving as a free agent. He was not very helpful in the 1988 postseason, though, pitching only 3.1 innings and giving up 3 earned runs.

Speaking of Welch, this shot is a lot like the one that appears on his card. http://88topps.blogspot.com/search?q=bob+welch

Except that Howell's arm is normal length :)
