On May 16, 1978 Torres together with Claudell Washington was swapped by the Texas Rangers to the Chicago White Sox for 3-time all-star & 3-time gold glove award winner Bobby Bonds, Barry's father. We have deducted $1.00 from the complete set price for the missing Rusty Torres card. Interesting Fact: One thing that makes baseball card collecting interesting is checking out the record of the player whose picture is affixed to the cardboard. Did you know: Danny Darwin, whose first-ever card is included in this team set, won 171 major league games, was National League ERA champion (1990 with Houston Astros) and twice led his league (NL in 1990, AL in 1993 with the Red Sox) in WHIP (Walks +Hits divided by Innings Pitched)? Did you also know his career WAR (Wins Above Replacement) was an excellent 39.8 ... and yet Danny Darwin was never selected for an All-Star team?
