1974 Topps #73 Mike Marshall
About Mike Marshall
Mike Marshall went 14-11 with a 2.66 ERA and 31 saves for Montreal in 1973 and was named Fireman of the Year by The Sporting News. Topps gave him two cards in 1974 as an Expo, #73 and #208, the latter a League Leaders card in the Fireman category shared with Detroit's John Hiller.
Michael Grant Marshall was a right-handed pitcher from Adrian, Michigan, who spent 14 major league seasons with nine clubs between 1967 and 1981. Signed by the Philadelphia Phillies as an amateur free agent, he made his major league debut with the Detroit Tigers in 1967. Seattle took him in the 1968 expansion draft, and after a stop in Houston he reached the Montreal Expos, where he led the National League in games pitched and saves in 1973. Traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Willie Davis after the 1973 season, Marshall set a major league record with 106 relief appearances in 1974 and won the National League Cy Young Award, the first reliever to do so. He earned two All-Star selections and closed out his career with the Minnesota Twins and New York Mets. Off the field he earned a doctorate in exercise physiology from Michigan State University and later taught his own pitching mechanics.
