1975 Topps #584 Mike Garman
Back cartoon reads "shutouts" — should be strikeouts.
About Mike Garman
Mike "Pickles" Garman was the third overall pick in the 1967 draft, an Idaho high schooler the Red Sox took ahead of every pitcher that year. He debuted with Boston in September 1969, winning his first start six days after turning 20, but shuttled between Fenway and the minors for four years before a December 1973 trade sent him to St. Louis. There he blossomed into a relief weapon, pairing with Al Hrabosky in the Cardinals' bullpen: 7-2 with a 2.64 ERA in 1974, then a 2.39 ERA and 10 saves in 1975 -- the breakout pictured on his 1975 Topps card (#584) as a Cardinal, whose back cartoon miscounts his strikeouts as "shutouts." Teammates in St. Louis hung the nickname "Pickles" on him, courtesy of Bob Gibson, for his habit of downing a quart of pickles at a sitting. Garman later helped the 1977 Dodgers reach the World Series, throwing two scoreless relief outings against the Yankees, before a torn rotator cuff ended his career after 1979.
